Teachers' perspectives on the implementation of the new national curriculum - Dataset from Vietnam

Abstract

This dataset provides insightful data on the reality of the new national curriculum implementation from primary and secondary school teachers’ perspectives. The dataset addresses four main aspects of the new curriculum implementation from teachers’ perspectives: (a) teachers' capacity in implementing the new curriculum, (b) teaching conditions in implementing the new curriculum, (c) challenges for teachers in implementing the new curriculum, and (d) teachers' desires to implement the new national curriculum successfully. The survey tools used to collect the data were developed based on a literature review of implementing a new curriculum from teachers’ assessment. The survey was conducted online via Google Forms from November to December 2022, with 29,026 primary and secondary school teachers in five provinces of Vietnam participating. The dataset is expected to benefit policymakers and educational administrators by providing information on key areas where teachers require support and training to improve the implementation of the new curriculum. Additionally, the dataset contributes to developing evidence-based policies and interventions to support teachers in implementing the new curriculum. Educational managers and researchers can benefit from this dataset by gaining insights and preparing adequately for implementing new curriculum or developing plans to improve curriculum development. Overall, this dataset provides valuable information for improving the effectiveness of implementing the new national curriculum.
