46 products participated in the Self-Made Teaching Aids Competition for Continuing Education at the High School level.

This is the first time the competition has been held at the provincial level, with the participation of 21 continuing education and vocational training centers. In this competition, the participating units submitted 46 products, including teaching aids for subjects such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Literature, History, Geography, Informatics, and Foreign Languages. These focused on areas such as experimental equipment, practical exercises for various subjects, audio and video recordings, software simulating teaching aids and describing phenomena, self-made experiments, or pictures, dioramas, diagrams, samples, charts, and models.

According to the organizers, despite being the first year of implementation, the participating units have invested and prepared meticulously, presenting many high-quality, creative, and practical products.

A notable feature is the application of AI technology in lesson design, making lessons more engaging and easier for students to grasp, such as models of human body systems, AI voice assistant applications, and models for teaching theory and practical computer assembly and repair.

During the implementation process, the units also flexibly applied the teaching program ofContinuing Education model, to create highly practical teaching aids that serve both cultural and vocational learning. Many teaching models have been designed to be topical and relevant to the new context, such as the product "Map of Vietnam after provincial mergers," the model "Day and Night Phenomenon on Earth," etc.

The competition aims to encourage teachers to be creative and improve teaching aids to support the innovation of teaching methods and enhance the quality of education. It also provides an opportunity for teachers and staff throughout the province to exchange and learn from each other's experiences in inventing, building models, tools, and using teaching aids and experimental equipment.

The organizers also stated that, following the success of the first competition, the self-made teaching aids competition for continuing education at the high school level will be one of the regular annual professional development activities. This aims not only to evaluate the products but also to create opportunities for teachers to learn from each other about designing and using self-made teaching aids among different centers.

During this period, the Department of Education and Training also organized a professional training program focusing on innovating teaching methods, assessment towards developing students' qualities and competencies, and applying information technology in teaching and management. Simultaneously, practical experiences in implementing the General Education Program at the high school level were shared. In addition, teachers received training on the application of AI in management and teaching, and digital career guidance.

This training course is of great importance, helping the teaching staff of continuing education programs grasp new developments to exchange experiences, contributing to improving the quality of teaching and building a flexible, humane educational environment that meets the requirements of digital transformation in education.

At the end of the competition, the organizing committee awarded 1 first prize, 5 second prizes, 6 third prizes, and 11 consolation prizes to the outstanding products.
