Summary: 
The emergence of teachers’ data literacy is gradually gaining attention as a crucial aspect for accurately assessing students’ development, then tailoring teaching activities toward individual learners to meet educational goals and tasks. To achieve this, teachers must proficiently collect and process relevant documents related to teaching objects to generate insightful data about learners and enhance the understanding of their learning and development. Despite the significance of teachers’ data literacy, research findings in this domain remain fragmented, insufficiently known, and lack proper focus. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic study, review, and evaluation of global publications spanning the past two decades, specifically focusing on teachers’ data competence. Our analysis identifies key issues concerning the learner data. Additionally, we highlight research directions in this field and explore their potential applications within the educational context of Vietnam. This comprehensive examination aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of teachers’ data literacy, fostering its integration into effective teaching practices.
