This study investigates the effectiveness of pedagogical courses and practicums in the A+B teacher education model at the University of Education, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Most of the participants in the study said that they were implemented effectively, helping to equip students with what they need to become high school teacher s. However, the practicums at the University of Education are still in need of innovation when compared to the corresponding programs in many other countries. The implementation time of the A+B teacher education model has only been around a decade, so it is necessary to make continuous adjustments for the betterment of this model. The research results not only help stakeholders in the reform of teacher education at the University of Education, but also serve as reference information for other institutions in the process of innovating teacher education programs and models, particularly when it comes to pedagogical courses as well as practicums.
