The research results show that there has been no specific research onthe concept, structure, characteristics, measures to form and develop thecapacity of assessing technology for students in teaching Technology.Therefore, it is necessary to research on technological capacity, assessmentcapacity and teaching to develop this capacity for students in teachingTechnology in high schools

1.2 BASIC CONCEPTS

1.2.1 Concept of capacity

Competence is a personal attribute that allows people to mobilize acombination of knowledge, skills and attitudes to successfully perform a certaintype of activity, achieving desired results, under specific conditions body

1.2.2 Concept of technology

Technology is the systematic knowledge of processes andtechniques used to process materials and information The components oftechnology include: Technique; People; Information and Organization

1.2 3 Concept of technological capacity

In the fields of science and technology, production and business,etc., technological capacity can be considered as the ability to applyscientific and technical advances to a field of activity, in order to achievethe highest economic efficiency, ensure humanity, protect environmentalresources, and contribute to promoting social progress An individual'stechnological capacity can be determined to include knowledge oftechniques, processes and skills in operating and using machinery andequipment to perform tasks in the fields of production and life According

to the 2018 Technology Program, technological capability structure 5components: cognition, communication, use, technical assessment andtechnical design From the analysis of capacity, technical capacity,technology, it can be determined: Technological capacity is a personalattribute, allowing people to mobilize a synthesis of knowledge, skills andattitudes to successfully perform activities in the field of engineering,technology, under specific conditions

1.2.4 Evaluation concept

Evaluation is the process of forming opinions and judgments about acertain object based on the analysis of the information obtained, comparingwith the set goals and standards, thereby making appropriaterecommendations to improve the current situation, enhance the quality andefficiency of work

1.2.5 Concept of technology assessment

Evaluation is the process of forming opinions and judgments about aspecific object, based on analyzing information obtained through theworking process related to the proposed standards and criteria in order tomake appropriate decisions to improve the object, improve quality andefficiency of use

1.2.6 Concept of technology assessment capacity

According to specialized agencies on technology assessment,technology assessment is a synthetic process that considers the impactsbetween technology and the surrounding environment in order to drawconclusions about the actual capabilities and potential of a technology.According to the 2018 Technology Program: “Technologyassessment: is the ability to make judgments about a technology product,process, or service with a multidimensional perspective on the role,function, quality, economics, finance, environmental impact, and negativeaspects of technology.”

From the results of the analysis of the above statements, from aneducational perspective, it can be determined that: Technology assessmentcapacity is the capacity to make judgments about a method, process, ortechnological product according to evaluation criteria regarding the role,function, quality, aesthetics, economy, environmental impact, and negativeaspects of engineering and technology

1.2.7 Development concept

Development is the process of transformation from one state toanother of phenomena in the direction of increasing perfection

1.2 8 Concept of technological capacity development

Developing technological capacity is developing all elements oftechnological capacity, but each stage and each content may only be favorablefor developing one or a few elements However, the elements in technologicalcapacity have a close relationship, are bound, support, and promote each other,

so the development of each element is also placed in a relationship with otherelements Thus, it can be understood that: Developing technologicalassessment capacity for students is a process of pedagogical impact with thepurpose of forming and improving students' ability to analyze, comment, anddraw conclusions about methods, processes, and technological products based

on evaluation criteria of function, quality, aesthetics, economic efficiency,environmental impact, and negative impacts of technology

1.3 TECHNOLOGY CAPACITY

1.3.1 Structure of technological capacity

Technological capacity has a structure consisting of five elements (Figure 1.1)

- Technological awareness capacity: Is the capacity to master coregeneral knowledge about technology in terms of the nature of technology;

the relationship between technology, humans, and society; some populartechnologies, major production processes that have a great impact on theeconomy and society in the present and future; technological developmentand innovation; careers and career orientation in the field of engineeringand technology in Vietnam.

- Technology communication capacity: Is the capacity to build,understand and be able to discuss in technical language about technologyproducts, processes, services in use, technology evaluation and technical design

- Capacity to use technology: Is the capacity to exploit technologicalproducts, processes, and services with correct functions and techniques in asafe and effective manner; to create technological products

- Technology assessment capacity: Is the capacity to makejudgments about a product, process, or technology service with a multi-dimensional perspective on the role, function, quality, economics - finance,environmental impact, and negative aspects of technology

- Technical design capacity: Is the capacity to detect needs,problems that need to be solved, and innovations in practice; propose andrealize technical and technological solutions; test and evaluate the level ofmeeting the needs and problems The above process is carried out on thebasis of fully considering the aspects of resources, environment, economyand humanity

1.4.4 Assessment of technology assessment

capacity development

The purpose of capacity assessment is to collect, analyze, processinformation, determine the cause and on that basis propose solutions toimpact the teaching and learning process to help students develop theircapacity To accurately assess students' capacity for technology

assessment, teachers must divide capacity into many small criteria toassess each manifestation and activity of students Each element oftechnology assessment capacity has different manifestations, so teachersmust use many different assessment methods such as observationchecklists, assessment rubrics, questions, tests, and surveys Depending onthe teaching content, teachers choose appropriate assessment methods.

1.4.5 Characteristics of technology assessment capacity

The process of assessing students' performance will have thefollowing characteristics:

- The outstanding characteristics of the capacity for critical thinkingand systematic thinking are:

- Assessment can be comprehensive, holistic or focus on certainaspects or aspects

- The assessment process often requires a harmonious combination

of intellectual (mental) and physical (manual) operations

- To be technologically literate, students must have the ability toperceive, communicate and use technology

- The evaluation process often requires defining the purpose,evaluation criteria, collecting information, analyzing, arguing anddrawing conclusions

1.4.6 Basic criteria in technology evaluation
