Selecting content is one of the crucial steps in equipping physics pedagogy students with the ability to develop Blended learning lesson plans (BLLP). The purpose of this study is to propose criteria for selecting training content for physics pedagogy students to develop BLLP for teaching physics by Vietnam's general education curriculum. To achieve this, the research team analyzed the learning outcomes and content of professional pedagogical knowledge modules in the training programs of physics pedagogy students from two education universities, the content of teaching physics according to Vietnam's general education curriculum, the characteristics of Blended learning (BL) and seeking expert opinions on criteria for selecting content, and training content. The research results include the five criteria identified, the five areas of training content for physics pedagogy students in developing BLLP. This content is related to the structure and use of BL models, creating an online learning environment in teaching physics in high schools, and designing teaching activities both in-class and online according to the BL model. The research findings contribute to the development of content for training physics pedagogy students to construct BLLP and effectively apply BL in teaching physics in high schools.
