Vietnam Grade 10 Physics Curriculum

The Vietnam Grade 10 Physics curriculum is part of the 2018 General Education Program implemented by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET). Physics is an elective subject within the Natural Sciences group, alongside Chemistry and Biology. Students are required to choose at least one subject from each of the three subject groups (Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Technology and Arts), for a total of five elective subjects.

Physics Education Goals

The Physics curriculum aims to:

• Develop key qualities and general competencies, as outlined in the overall 2018 General Education Program.
• Develop physics competence, including knowledge and skills related to physical system models, energy, waves, forces, and fields.
• Equip students with scientific process skills for exploring and solving physics-related problems.
• Enable students to apply physics knowledge and skills in practical situations, promoting sustainable development and environmental protection.
• Guide students in recognizing their abilities and strengths for career orientation and future learning.

Curriculum Implementation

Physics education in Vietnam begins in earlier grades through integrated science subjects. In Grade 10, Physics becomes a distinct subject with a more focused approach. The curriculum emphasizes essential and practical concepts, with a focus on application in technical, scientific, and technological fields. Experiments and practical exercises are crucial for developing understanding.

The curriculum is designed to be open and flexible, allowing teachers to adapt the content and order of topics to suit their students' needs and learning styles. This flexibility extends to textbook choices and the integration of various learning resources.
