SOME ISSUES RAISED IN REFRESHER TRAINING FOR CIVIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN DAK LAK TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF GENERAL EDUCATION RENOVATION

Abstract

In order to comply with the requirements of general education renovation and the change in the role of civic education, civic education teachers in Dak Lak province are in need of continuous professional development in terms of contents, teaching methods and techniques via refresher training forms appropriate for the provincial circumstance. With regard to contents, the training focus should be put on new and challenging units of knowledge; for teaching methods and techniques, priority should be given to the application of positive teaching methods; the training forms require collaboration between the Department of Education and Training and the University of Education in developing themes to meet the needs of the teachers. This is a necessary activity that shows the care and investment from the provincial government for the civic education teaching staff in satisfying the requirements of general education renovation.
