Abstract

Paralleling to the reform of the general education curriculum oriented to learners¡¯ competency development in Vietnam is the innovation of teaching methods. The transfer from content-based teaching to competency approach is a difficult task for high school teachers in Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to design a process for the development and use of mathematical-biological exercises in the development of logical thinking competency for high school students in Vietnam. In the article, based on the study on thinking, logical thinking, definition of logical thinking competency, we define the structure of logical thinking competency of high school students as well as build mathematical-biological exercises model and process of mathematical-biological exercises design. From there, we propose the process of using mathematical-biological exercises to develop students' logical thinking competency.
