IPT course teachers in higher education, Competency, Systematic literature review.

Systematic research on competency began in the 1970s and became a prominent field of study by the late 20th century. Following the introduction of competency concepts into education, teacher competency and higher education faculty competency have become research hotspots. In the past decade, with increasing societal emphasis on ideological and political (IPT) education, IPT courses, and IPT teacher workforce development, research on IPT course teachers' competency in higher education has emerged as an increasingly important topic. Studies on conceptual frameworks, model construction, enhancement strategies, as well as relationships between competency and performance, and competency and teaching ability have yielded significant results. However, issues remain regarding research scope, content, methodology, and practical application, necessitating continued improvement in future studies.
