Abstract

This article focuses on a comprehensive survey, analysis, and evaluation of the current state of preschool teacher development under professional standards in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The study employs a quantitative survey among 110 preschool administrators and teachers. Data was collected through questionnaires (using a 4-point Likert scale) to assess seven key aspects in detail: professional competence, ethical qualities, and six management activities (planning, recruitment, training, evaluation, motivation, and opportunities). The results reveal a clear disparity: Although preschool teachers generally achieve a "Good" level of competence and possess strengths in early childhood education, there is a significant gap in integration competencies such as information technology application (average score 2.17) and foreign language proficiency (average score 2.11) as urgent requirements of the modern era. Regarding management, strategic aspects such as planning and recruitment were rated as average, leading to a decline in the quality of incoming teachers. Furthermore, the lack of facilities and equipment limited the effectiveness of training activities. This research provides a detailed database demonstrating the link between weak management processes and insufficient core competencies among teachers. These results are essential for educational administrators at all levels to develop accurate solutions, focusing on improving the management system and investing in professional resources to fill the technical competency gap, thereby contributing to improving the quality of preschool teachers in the locality.
