This study aims to assess the impact of a shadow puppetry arts training module on Preschool Education students’ confidence in their knowledge and skills of design and performance of shadow puppetry. The researchers developed and implemented the training module for 116 fourth-year students at a university in Central Vietnam. Survey methods and group interviews were employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the training module. The research results indicate that the shadow puppetry design and performance module has positively influenced the students' confidence in both knowledge and skills. Students highly appreciate the interest and challenges encountered during the learning process, as well as the creative skills and exploration demonstrated through shadow puppetry design and performance, group cohesion, and the dedication of the instructing teacher. The principles and processes of shadow puppetry design and performance outlined in the study serve as valuable reference materials for teacher training institutions, students, and preschool educators. This research emphasizes the crucial role of the shadow puppetry arts module in developing the competencies of preschool teachers
