Enhancing the Application of Information Technology in Teaching for School Teachers

before. At the same time, the universality and differentiation in learning of students also need to be noted. Therefore, the principal needs to deploy the application of PISA assessment to evaluate the capacity of school students.

- Innovating testing methods: Teachers need to be encouraged to apply diverse testing methods, using them individually or combining different types of questions such as objective and essay tests. In the near future, quality assessment will no longer be a burden for teachers thanks to advanced technical equipment; instead, they will be updated with information in a timely manner so that teaching and learning activities can be adjusted quickly. Therefore, principals need to organize programs and activities to train and guide teachers in practicing new testing and assessment methods, providing necessary technical means to support teachers in testing and assessing the learning quality of students.

- Innovation in grading, correction, and student quality assessment : The concepts of assessment and evaluation up to now are still one-sided and one-sided. This means that teachers always maintain a unique position in assessment, and students are passive in receiving assessment opinions from their teachers. The ability of students to self-assess to adjust their learning methods is very necessary and needs to be guided by teachers if the teaching goal of teachers focuses on training self-study methods, being positive, proactive, creative, and developing students' capacity in teaching and learning in the direction of innovation. In the daily assessment and evaluation work, students need to be given the opportunity to assess each other, and they are allowed to self-assess their own work and that of their friends. During the end-of-semester and year-end assessments, the school board must independently grade papers, code students' tests, ensure objectivity and fairness in assessing the quality of students and teachers by switching teachers who grade papers; minimize cheating in all forms during the examination process, and propose strict measures with specific levels for cases of dishonesty and chasing after achievements. Teachers must grade papers seriously, ensuring objectivity and fairness.

c) How to implement the measure

Principals must do everything they can to help teachers understand the philosophy of assessment, which is: Assessment must be for the progress of students; assessment is a learning process; assessment is a science, assessment requires teachers to have skills, knowledge, master the assessment process and must use many tools, many methods, many different forms of assessment to assess. Applying diverse assessment methods contributes to increasing the level of accuracy in the assessment process because it reflects better objectivity. And teachers themselves will also have the opportunity to improve their teaching and assessment capacity through such assessment processes.

+ Apply PISA's assessment method to build a set of questions to assess students' abilities. The questions are designed according to the ability framework, with a matrix, each area has 3 levels. Level 1 is to test simple knowledge, level 2 is to test complex knowledge and level 3 is to require students to apply all knowledge to solve problems related to practice.

+ The system of questions used in the assessment and testing is designed to integrate interdisciplinary knowledge. A specific example for a question testing knowledge of literature, history, and geography in grade 12 is as follows:

* During your time at high school, you have learned about many historical figures and events of your nation and countries around the world. Many of these figures and events still influence life today. Write an essay stating your thoughts on a historical figure or event that you have learned about and consider important, pointing out the influence of that historical figure or event on us.

* During your years at high school, you have learned about many different people in your country and around the world. Write about one of them and tell us what makes that person special to learn from?

- Guide and direct the teaching staff to carry out testing and assessment during the teaching process, and at the same time provide students with specific guidance on testing methods so that they can proactively meet all the requirements set out in the testing and assessment of learning quality.

- Instruct teachers to diversify assessment and evaluation.

d) Conditions for implementing measures

- Teachers must be thoroughly instructed in teaching theory and testing to evaluate students' capacity development with assessment forms, assessment methods, and how to build a question bank to evaluate students' capacity.

- This task must always be closely monitored and directed by the school principal. The school board makes reasonable and adequate investments in the construction of a question bank for assessment and evaluation. In addition, teachers who complete well the task of assessing and developing students' capacity need to be encouraged and rewarded promptly to motivate the teaching staff.

3.2.7. Strengthening the application of IT in teaching for school teachers

a) Purpose of the measure

Applying IT to the process of organizing and implementing teaching activities is an urgent task in the current period. This measure is built with the goal of equipping managers and teachers with knowledge about computers, management software and teaching software; at the same time, improving the skills of using these tools to effectively support teaching in schools. Building a modern information environment, creating the habit of working with computers for teachers and staff, effectively exploiting utilities and information on the internet to update knowledge and serve the profession.

) Contents of the measure

The benefits of applying IT in teaching towards developing students' abilities are clearly shown in encouraging teachers to be creative and flexible in teaching, teachers can draw and explain clearly the information given, creating excitement for teachers to change teaching methods and use information technology more, improving expertise. Besides, it creates good opportunities for students to participate in cooperation, develop social skills and personal abilities, independence and creativity in learning.

Using electronic lesson plans requires teachers to search for images,

audio, evidence appropriate to the lesson content; this puts a burden on teachers many times more than the traditional way of teaching purely with chalk and blackboard. Teachers also need to combine computer knowledge, techniques of using Powerpoint software with creativity and personal acumen to serve the search for materials for the lesson. Most importantly, each teacher must nurture a passion for the profession, because only when we have passion can we overcome the above difficulties to complete the job well. Because of such obstacles, most teachers only apply Information Technology in demonstration lessons, and rarely use it in regular lessons. If a teacher wants to design an electronic lesson plan for his or her teaching, he or she needs to possess the following basic knowledge:

- Proficient in computer skills;

- Proficient in using PowerPoint software;

- Know how to access the Internet;

- Know how to use a projector.

Therefore, school teachers need to be trained and equipped with basic knowledge of information technology, most importantly, mastering the skills to proficiently use useful software in teaching such as: Powerpoint; Plash; Violet; Ulead Videostudio, ...

Ensure 100% of teachers and staff have good IT skills (B or higher).

Exploit and make full use of the Internet to search for relevant documents for teaching purposes. Select appropriate knowledge and download it from the Internet to establish the school's electronic library.

With natural science subjects requiring high intuition, knowledge is formed for students through phenomena, objects, experiments, mathematical tools... from vivid intuition to abstract thinking. Experiments are considered the best tool to test the accuracy of knowledge because this is a source of accurate, reliable and easy-to-understand information. In addition, performing and observing experiments has a significant impact on students' senses during the learning process, it is also

A method to help students practice their dexterity, foster and develop thinking ability, contribute to consolidating knowledge and applying it in practice.

With social sciences, in addition to vivid visualization, teachers need to communicate and express through language, images, and emotions when emphasizing phenomena, objects, events, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to use a lot of audio-visual aids.

c) How to implement the measure

The principal has a plan to thoroughly understand and raise awareness among teachers and staff about the importance and great effects of information technology in management and teaching.

Focus on training teachers on the application of IT in the teaching process based on specific solutions suitable to the actual situation of each school. All teachers need to participate in training sessions on the use of equipment and IT applications, then review the training to make appropriate adjustments.

Research specific solutions suitable to the current situation of each school to serve the work of training teachers to apply IT in teaching.

Strengthening the inspection and evaluation work on the basis of legal and administrative grounds in the use of equipment and application of IT in teaching. All these measures need to be included in the school year plan, teaching plan and school regulations. Based on the ability to use teaching equipment and apply IT in teaching of teachers to evaluate and classify teachers.

Organize a review and inventory of all existing teaching equipment of the school, and at the same time have a plan to repair, maintain or liquidate damaged equipment (depending on the level) to free up storage and laboratories, preparing for the new school year. Require groups and subject groups at the beginning of the school year to plan laboratories and subject rooms; estimate the budget for purchasing chemicals, materials for experiments, etc.

Compare with the list of minimum teaching equipment to create a list of teaching equipment, develop an early purchasing plan and send it to the accounting department to organize additional purchases to suit the actual needs of the school.

The school organizes for teachers to use popular, easy-to-use software such as: Powerpoint, Word, Excel, especially exploiting resources on the Internet along with the use of popular Microsoft Office software, which has expanded and enriched the application of information technology in teaching.

Invest in and purchase specialized software for subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology... and online learning platforms such as vioedu, hoc mai... to use for subjects in modeling, illustration, simulation,... training for teachers to use this software.

Monitor and encourage teachers to make the best and most use of subject classrooms and teaching equipment equipped with and apply IT in teaching. Periodically check and evaluate the results of this activity.

Make the results of testing and evaluating the use of teaching aids and techniques and the application of information technology a competition criterion.

Develop school regulations on the application of information technology in management and teaching.

For example: Teachers are required to enter students' scores using score management software, teachers must know how to prepare their own electronic lesson plans, 100% of teachers' demonstration lessons are supported by electronic lesson plans, extracurricular topics must be presented with images, illustrative videos...

Encourage and support FPT Corporation technology loans for teachers to buy personal computers for teaching purposes. Ensure that all teachers in the school must have personal computers.

There is a summary, evaluation and experience drawing after each school year to do better and overcome shortcomings that occur during the implementation process.

Designing electronic lesson plans, paying attention to innovating teaching methods for the subject; basic skills in PowerPoint techniques: These are the operations of inserting, copying, deleting, arranging, linking, placing simple effects... on the objects that teachers want to design in their lessons; Using drawing tools: in the lecture, teachers need to include illustrations for the lecture such as describing experimental equipment, describing the operation of a device, describing a process, needing skills to use tools

Drawing tools... so that vivid visual images impact students' thoughts, emotions, and intelligence.

Nowadays, there are many diverse and rich sources of information available on the Internet. Therefore, every teacher needs to be aware of the indispensable importance of searching and exploiting information sources on the Internet to serve the teaching work. Teachers can exploit materials on subjects of Vietnam and abroad through some websites such as: google.com, msn.com, yahoo.com. Besides the widespread development of IT, there have appeared quite a lot of software utilities to serve the teaching and learning process.

d) Conditions for implementing measures

The school must have a well-qualified IT team, able to troubleshoot complex equipment problems, enthusiastic in their work, effectively manage the school's equipment and computer systems, and effectively support the school's teachers and staff in self-study and self-improvement.

The school must have a specific plan for each investment route to build and purchase modern equipment and report to the organization.

The school must build a team of qualified, enthusiastic, responsible teachers who are eager to learn new content.

3.3. Relationship between management measures

The seven measures proposed above have a dialectical and close relationship with each other, forming a unified entity that promotes the most effective management of learning activities in schools.

The principal must carry out measures in a synchronous and systematic manner. This measure is the premise and basis for the other measure. They complement each other, promote each other to improve and contribute to improving the quality of teaching activities in the direction of promoting the capacity of the school's students, including:

Measure 1: Has the role of determining the path, goals, measures, and ways to achieve the goals in the process of managing teaching activities towards promoting students' capacity at FPT High School. Planning is one of the important and indispensable functions in all areas of management in general and school management in particular.

separately. Planning is pivotal and is the driving force for successful management activities.

Measure 2: Is the key measure and the driving force leading to the success of teaching management activities towards developing students' capacity. Implementing this measure well is to create a proactive position for the team to complete the task well because correct perception will lead to correct action, creating a teaching method that actively develops students' capacity. Ensuring that teachers in the school have sufficient qualifications, capacity and professional qualities to participate in teaching subjects with high quality and efficiency is a measure that directly affects the perception and capacity of teachers and students in the process of implementing teaching towards developing learners' capacity.

Measure 3: This is considered a supportive measure and creates a good relationship structure between measures. Organizing effective professional group activities helps improve teachers' professional capacity because there the teaching staff can exchange with each other about knowledge areas and learn teaching methods, KT-G.

Measure 4: Is a basic measure to create changes in perception and action in teaching and learning activities of teachers and students, helping to implement teaching plans towards effectively developing students' capacity.

Measure 5: In line with the Industry's direction on innovation in teaching methods, it has comprehensive significance to ensure that teaching activities in the direction of developing students' capacity achieve the expected quality.

Measure 6: Strengthen testing and assessment of learning outcomes in the direction of developing students' capacity so that the school can classify students and identify each teacher in the teaching activities. Testing and assessment is the final and important step to help the Principal grasp the actual quality of both teachers and students.

Measure 7: Has important significance in contributing to the successful implementation of teaching method innovation to meet the requirements of educational innovation.

Each measure has certain advantages and disadvantages, no measure is completely optimal. The above measures need to be implemented flexibly and effectively in the process of managing learning activities towards developing students' capacity. They are both the premise and the result of each other throughout the management process.
