Abstract


The national strategy has identified developing, educating and training high-quality human resources meeting requirements for the 4th Industrial Revolution and international integration as one of its central missions. This study aims to determine criteria for assessing the quality of physical education teachers at lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands of Vietnam. Participants included 45 professors, associate professors, and PhDs in physical education at institutions of physical training and sports; 500 teachers and 100 employers and managers from lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands. Based on literature synthesis, an interview, and a reliability test of items in the research scale using Cronbach’s Alpha, the study identified 19 criteria for evaluating the quality of physical education teachers at lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands. The criteria were divided into three clusters: (1) Knowledge: 5 criteria; (2) Skills: 10 criteria; (3) Attitudes: 4 criteria. Results of the evaluation on the quality of physical education teachers at lower-secondary schools in the Northern Midlands showed that 08/19 of the criteria were deemed "Good", 05/19 were deemed "Rather", and 06 of them were deemed "Average".
