The Implementation of the CDIO Approach in Teacher Training Programs: The Vietnamese Case

Abstract

The CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) approach was originally developed for engineering education programs. However, this approach has also been adopted to support non-engineering programs. This paper aims to discuss the implementation of the CDIO approach in teacher training programs in a university in Vietnam. Five tests focusing on assessing students’ competence of lesson plan preparation, lesson planning, teaching organization, student learning assessment, and teaching portfolio management were developed and administered to the experimental group of 40 last-year students and the control group of 40 last-year students. When the data were collected and analyzed with the assistance of the SPSS statistics, the p-value was .000 (p=.000 p < .05), which means that the experimental group and control group had statistically meaningful difference. The results of this study show that students enrolling in programs that implemented the CDIO approach performed better than those who enrolled in programs without the support of the CDIO approach.

“…It is an innovative educational foundation for engineering training. The framework focuses on engineering training by providing students with fundamental ideas, projects, implementations, operating systems, and products (Pham et al, 2021 The CDIO theory is a stakeholder measure of the effectiveness of engineering training in terms of relevant skills and quality of talent. It aims to develop practical and professional skills and, most importantly, teamwork, interpersonal skills, good professional skills, and training in ethics and labor standards.…”
