Professionalism of teachers is often attributed to three factors are quite important, namely the competence of teachers, teacher certification and teacher professional allowance. The third factor is the background that was allegedly closely associated with the quality of education. Professional teachers as evidenced by its competence shall promote the establishment process and product performance which can support the quality of education. Competent teachers can be evidenced by the acquisition of teacher certification following an adequate allowance according to the size of Indonesia. Today, there are a number of teachers who have been certified, it will be certified, has gained professional allowance, and will acquire the professional allowance. The fact that the teachers have been certified is a strong assumption, that the teacher already has competence. The problem that arises then, that the teacher is assumed to have had the competence which is only based on the assumption that they have been certified; it seems in the long term it is difficult to be accountable academically. Evidence have been certified, the teacher is present condition, which is generally a quality teacher resources shortly after certification. Therefore, the certification is closely related to the learning process, the certification cannot be assumed to reflect the competence of a superior lifetime. Post- certification should be an early milestone for teachers to constantly improve competence by means of long-life learning. To facilitate the improvement of teacher competence, it is necessary that a competence is initiated in order to manage the development of teachers’ professionalism.

The objective of this study was to explore and analyse provision of information to secondary school teachers’ in their endeavour to participate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD). In the current educational era, the trial and error teaching, and take it or leave it professional development programmes are no longer acceptable. In this respect, teacher training entails more than the mastery of certain practical knowledge, pedagogical skills, and techniques. Therefore, CPD plays an important role in teacher development geared towards classroom improvement. This paper highlights the need for secondary school teachers to be provided with information about CPD. This is significant in that CPD is hoped to provide a basis for teacher professional improvement discussion in Kirinyaga County. CPD will lead to constructive discussions by appropriate education experts in Kenya on vital professional development challenges that involve provision of information. Hopefully, CPD would stimulate educational research geared towards secondary school teacher improvement. The methodology used entailed a mixed method study design that involved analysis of macro and micro aspects using quantitative and qualitative techniques in the collection of data. A vertical case study method was used in sampling of twelve secondary schools in Kirinyaga County. The sampled schools were further subjected to a survey method where questionnaires were administered to teachers while six others were subjected to an in-depth case study involving teachers and principals. In the schools where case study was used, data was collected using in-depth interviews with principals and teachers. Teachers were further subjected to Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The data collected was analysed qualitatively, though quantitative data was used for clarification where it was found necessary. The study found out that there is disparity on information provision from the different groups of people expected to provide critical information to teachers. Teachers need to be provided with information on CPD so that they can improve their professional status geared to classroom practices. The limitation of this study is that the findings could not be generalized to other schools and regions within the country without modification.

Purpose This study aims to identify various teachers’ professional activities (TPAs) and classify these TPAs according to their relative importance for the professional development of teachers. Design/methodology/approach The systematic review of the literature had been conducted to identify various TPAs in the institutions. Later, an empirical research had been conducted through confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS 20.0 to classify these TPAs according to their relative importance using the natural gap in standardized beta (β) values. In total, 96 administrators of 35 technical institutions of Punjab (India) offering engineering and management programs and 93 veteran educational experts had responded in a field survey. Findings The results of the study identified eight TPAs and further revealed that “regular self-assessment,” “adopting a creative problem-solving approach” and “developing deep commitment to make the difference” qualify among the “most important” activities for the professional enhancement of the faculty. Originality/value The study highlights different TPAs that they must establish, raise, promote, encourage and organize for their development. The study further classifies different activities according to their relative importance. The institute can evaluate their resources, budgets and efforts according to the relative importance of such activities. The classification of TPAs would help faculty to increase their efficacy.

In recent years, teacher noticing of children's mathematical thinking has emerged as an important and generative construct in mathematics education (Sherin, Jacobs, & Philipp, 2011). Less is known about ways instructional leaders notice teachers' learning. Between 2011 and 2015, we facilitated professional development (PD) in which coaches, principals, and teachers studied mathematics teaching and learning together. Our initial focus on teacher decision-making was inadequate in meeting instructional leaders' learning needs. We adapted the PD to focus instructional leaders' attention on the work of learning teaching. Analysis of leaders' discourse revealed shifts from noticing teacher characteristics to noticing dilemmas and decision-making within teaching and coaching. Findings suggest new roles for teacher educators and new forms of PD for instructional leaders.

From the point of view of logic rationality, the traditional philosophy of rationality emphasizes the purpose and means of cognition, but rejects the meaning and practice of life, and its thought also profoundly affects the development of teachers. The requirement of teacher’s professional development under the modern educational concept highlights the teacher’s subjectivity and personality traits. Brentano’s value philosophy is a philosophy that respects the tradition of life practice. Its intentional theory, insight life meaning, and strong practical purport provides a new path of thinking dimension for clarify the value orientation of teacher professional development and break through the current situation of teachers’ professional development, which lead a path of “endogenous” teacher professional development that based on the construction of teachers’ personal knowledge from the teacher’s self-evident feelings and belief, and then from the teacher’s individual professional development to teacher’s collective professional development.

The study indicates that classroom observation is potentially a useful tool for teachers’ professional development and works best when the personal capacity of a teacher, an observer, and school provide a base for the effective use and outcome for teachers.A brief summary of major findings and lessons learnt from the project, process, learning of teachers and my own learning is presented as follows;i) Teachers found the pre and post-observation sessions very useful for their professional development. These sessions also help the observer to understand the roots of the teacher's classroom problems.ii) Cyclical observations provide the courage and intellectual capacity to the teachers to turn their focus upon improved actions and they also developed their professional skills.iii) Teachers perceived my role as a helper, facilitator and a resource person who could provide suggestions and alternatives, where needed. I feel the need to further explore, how reflective conversations between a teacher and an observer affect individual teacher's attitudes and behaviour. This will highlight what needs to be done further to improve individual competencies. However, I feel that a co-teaching experience can also provide a valuable basis for collaborative inquiry. It might raise a range of interesting issues and questions for using reflective conversation in planning, teaching, and improving this strategy.

In an educational milieu student learning outcomes are directly related to teacher professional identity (TPI) i.e. improvement in the TPI will bear a direct positive effect on the learners’ academic achievements. Current study focuses on the development of TPI of English as a Foreign Language Teacher at English Language Institute (ELI) of a Saudi Arabian university through an in-service Cambridge English Teachers (CET) Professional Development (PD) program (CET-PD). Five determinants of TPI - Knowledge of Teaching Context (KCT), Collegial Collaboration (CC), Teaching Practices (TPs), Teacher Self-Efficacy (TSE), and Teacher Agency (TA) were studied before and after the PD program. Retrospective pretest-posttest research design was employed for addressing the research question: whereas responses on the five determinants were elicited from 120 participants through a self-administered questionnaire before and after the CET-PD program. Due to non-normality of data, a non-parametric statistic test-Wilcoxon signed Rank test was employed to analyze the collected data using SPSS. Results of the study revealed that three determinants of TPI - KCT, TSE, and TPs exhibited larger differences; whereas, for CC the differences were moderate and for TA the differences were minimal. By and large, due to in-service CET- PD program TPI exhibited improvement. The results of the study will be beneficial for teacher trainers to focus more on the teachers’ awareness of the learners’ and institutional contextual knowledge in a culture embedded in conservative norms. This study is a part of the quantitative phase of an ongoing Ph.D. project which employs mixed method convergent design.

Teacher professional development is often seen as the key to powerful education improvement. Therefore, teachers are expected to experience continuous professional development to keep abreast with the endless change taking place in the education routines. This study revealed the teacher’s beliefs and practices regarding with teacher professional development activities. Using qualitative study, mainly through written guided reflection and interview, this investigation resulted in two important findings. The first dealt with the teacher’s strong and positive beliefs toward teacher professional development activities and the other revealed the teacher’s exemplary practices. Hence, this research gives the implication for the teachers to always be involved in life-long endeavor to maintain the professionalism.

A relevant field of research in teacher’s professional competence assessment is taking the factor of motivation into account, as this enables teachers to differentiate between, i. e. to be aware of the significance of the individual professional competences and their development through their assessment. This research supports the understanding of how important motivation is in the process of the (continual) development of a teacher’s professional competence, taking his/her perception of the importance of competences in the educational process into account. The emphasis of the current research lays on the perception of the assessment by the selected number of primary and secondary school teachers. The following is the range of teacher's motivation perception: 1) motivating, 2) discouraging, 3) unnecessary, and 4) unfair in the process of life-long development of their professional competences. The research aim is to find out the differences in the individual motivational degrees in mutual assessment (motivating, discouraging, unnecessary, unfair, and other) relating to professional competences and find out the differences between the perception of the importance of the respective professional competences in the motivational category. Seven hundred thirty respondents - primary and secondary school teachers from Slovakia – participated in the research. The results showed the difference between the perception of the importance of professional competences among teachers who consider assessment to be motivating, discouraging, unnecessary, or unfair concept. Motivation towards assessment supports student-oriented competences, educational process and self-development of the teacher. Keywords: educational process, teacher competences assessment, teachers' motivation, teachers' professional competences.

The present paper concerns the topic of mentoring in the context of pre-service teacher education. Mentoring refers here to assistance or guidance provided by a school-based teacher who agrees to mentor a student teacher during her or his practicum. More specifically, the paper examines if mentoring can be recognized as a form of professional development for mentor teachers. While a great deal of literature has looked at the benefits student teachers gain from mentoring, an ongoing line of research has acknowledged that teachers in their roles as mentors also can benefit professionally from the experience of mentoring. However, the bulk of this research comes from the Anglo-Saxon context and it cannot be assumed that the experiences of British, American or Australian teachers are shared by teachers in Poland. The aim of the present study then was to identify the ways in which Polish teachers of English who have undertaken the role of a mentor develop professionally through mentoring. The instrument used was a web-based questionnaire. The main findings show that mentor teachers gain professionally primarily through the process of mentoring—being a mentor enhances their capacity for self-reflection and positively impacts their leadership skills, confidence as a teacher, willingness to self-develop, as well as their enthusiasm and commitment to teaching. On the other hand, mentors do not feel they learn directly from student teachers, although, in general, they recognize cooperation with student teachers as an inspirational and positive experience.

Being professional English teachers requires knowledge and competences that should be continuously nurtured to sustain their expertise, and one of the programs in Indonesia is the so-called Continuous Professional Development as officially declared by the Indonesian government in 2012. Certified teachers generally undergo either short- or long-term training experiences to update their teaching knowledge and skills. However, little empirical evidence has been conducted to examine the sustainability of such training practices on the teachers' professionalism. Henceforth, this study is aimed at investigating how such English teacher professional development training practices have been carried out and what teachers expect from such training. To that end, a survey is conducted involving a number of teachers drawn randomly from different six provinces. i.e. East Java, West Java, Lampung, East Borneo, South Sumatra, and East Papua throughout Indonesia. Descriptive statistical analyses are exerted to analyze the data collected. The findings suggest that a more down-to-earth reflective training as continuous professional development is in compelling need.

This study investigates teacher participation in national curriculum development in Myanmar. The purpose of this study is to explore teacher learning and reflection during the process of curriculum development through collaboration and communication. A qualitative research method has been applied in this study. Six participants participated in the study through individual interviews. The participants include six school teachers from Basic Education High Schools, specifically, two curriculum developers, two teachers who delivered the subject content of the new curriculum to their colleagues and two school teachers who were trainees for the content. The results showed that teachers experienced significant development in their professional knowledge, especially in their understanding and connection to the subject matter content across different grades and pedagogical content knowledge when they learnt from their colleagues. Moreover, the results also highlighted improvement in their reflective thinking and analytical skills. Because of the challenging tasks during the curriculum development process, teachers became more motivated in their teaching and learning which led to enhance their work performance.

This article seeks to contribute to the debate about the professional development of teachers, following the publication of the McCrone Report and subsequent settlement. It starts by identifying some key features, both negative and positive, of the current context of Scottish educational policy: here it is argued that the year 2000 can be regarded as an important watershed in the evolution of Scottish education. The middle section focuses on the recent history and current state of teacher education, taking account of political and professional views on both Initial Teacher Education and Continuing Professional Development. In the final part, an attempt is made to define the principles which should inform future policy on teacher development and to set out the conditions which have to be met if teachers are to be offered genuine professional enhancement. As part of this, the challenges to the major stakeholders in teacher education are considered.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of training and 'nativeness' on teacher's self-efficacy in teaching English as a second language. A questionnaire was used and administered to 281 foreign teachers in Nasseria, Iraq. The teacher’s sense of efficacy scale (TSES) was employed to measure a teacher's self-efficacy. Using MANOVA, we tested the impact of teachers’ training and 'nativeness' on a teacher’s self-efficacy. The analysis showed that trained teachers have higher self-efficacy than untrained teachers and further that professional development enhances self-efficacy. The study established that being a native speaker does not necessarily influence a teacher's self-efficacy and goes to support the hypothesis that target language proficiency should not be associated with being a language teacher. Ultimately, policymakers and educational administrators should concentrate on the professional development of language teachers and disband the native/non-native dichotomy.

Professional development is an integral aspect of a teacher’s professional life. Effective professional development activities enable teachers, among others, to update and enhance their pedagogical knowledge and skills, and allow teachers to be creative and critical in their teaching approach. But the question is, to what extent the professional development activities and programmes satisfy the teachers’ needs? This nationwide study aims to determine and identify the level of the Malaysian English language teachers’ level of satisfaction of their professional development – whether English language teachers are satisfied with the professional development experiences and opportunities that are provided by the Ministry of Education and the respective State Education Departments. Schools were randomly chosen and the questionnaires were mailed to the headmasters and principals of the schools to be distributed to all English teachers. A total of 2586 (1038 secondary teachers and 1548 primary teachers) questionnaires were received from teachers all over Malaysia. This paper will highlight and discuss the main findings, and provide some critical implications and suggestions in terms of teacher education and planning and implementation of future professional development activities.

The article deals with the actualization of additional professional pedagogical education, which at the present stage of development of society is considered as the most important resource for the modernization of education in General, is defined as the most important tool for the socio-economic development of the country and regions. The author reveals the modern requirements for professional development of teachers, professional-pedagogical competence which is the main resource to achieve the strategic objectives of the Russian Federation to join the national scope of education in the TOP 10 of the leaders in providing through the creation of state security and a high quality of life for the population. The article shows the relationship between the competence paradigm and the professional standard of a teacher, when the practical reflection of the competence paradigm determines the content and structure of the professional standard of teaching staff, in which labor actions, necessary skills and mandatory knowledge of all functions of the integral pedagogical process (training, education, development) are both a marker of personal self-development for a teacher and a criteria basis for assessing (self-assessment) professional and pedagogical competence. The author presents the research approach as a technology of self-development of teachers based on long-term personal experience of scientific and pedagogical activity and research practice (reflected in scientific and methodological publications). On the basis of the dissertation research (1985), the teacher's readiness to use the research approach in teaching is introduced into scientific and methodological circulation, the content, meaning and significance of such readiness for the self-development of a teacher are described. The results of the work suggest the possibility and necessity of practical use of the research approach in additional pedagogical education in the implementation of additional professional programs of professional development and professional retraining of teachers.

Furthermore, peer observation in reflective practice refers to the teacher’s act which collaborates with other teachers to identify the strength and the weakness of their teaching. By doing so, it is expected there will be innovation and improvement for better teaching activity after doing an evaluation together. This study aimed at investigating the teacher’s perceptions of peer observation as one of the reflection tools to promote professional development. The participant of this study was an In-service teacher in one of Senior High Schools in Surakarta who teaches English with 10 years of teaching experience. The data were gained through an in-depth interview followed by interactive model data analysis for qualitative study in analyzing the data. The results indicated that the teacher has positive perceptions of peer observation as a professional development tool. It brought some advantages for the teacher. Peer observation also helped the teacher to solve the problems she encountered in her teaching and could be used as a learning opportunity by observing new teaching techniques/methods/strategies from other teachers.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Teacher has positive perceptions in implementing peer observation to promote professional development
There are limited studies regarding the use of peer observation especially for in-service teacher
Peer observation brings some benefits for the teacher to improve her teaching practice

Much of the education literature places improving teacher professionalism at the context of any educational improvement. Researchers in education have built their arguments on the assumptions that increasing student performance requires fostering professional growth for teachers. A key aspect of a teacher's applying learning in an authentic professional development context is reflection. Analysis of reflective journals also shows how student teachers grew and interacted with others in the learning community. So it's no wonder that professional developers have implemented many Professional Development programs in their effort to bring out positive change in education and improvement. Undoubtedly, the success of any professional development effort largely depends on the readiness and willingness of the teachers. In this article, I argue that based on such a premise and approach professional development will hardly yield any positive results. Drawing on existing literature, the concept of teachers as reflective practitioners will be incorporated into the theme to encourage them to incorporate reflection into daily teaching practices. By doing so, teachers will adopt an autonomous approach to professional development that makes it easier for them to participate in the lifelong learning process.

Using narrative inquiry, this study investigates an ESL teacher’s experience of professional development, her perspectives of its effectiveness, the challenges encountered, and the changes in teacher knowledge and teaching practices. The focus is on how the teacher participant perceives the problems in professional development and how professional development can best address teachers’ needs in educating ELLs. The problems found to impede teachers from gaining the most from professional development include: (a) failure to tailor to the specific needs of ESL students; (b) neglect of the psychological and emotional well-being of ESL students; (c) lack of empathy for ESL students, (d) lack of content-specific ELL teacher professional development; and (e) professional development not well-attended. Accordingly, recommendations are put forward to render ESL teacher professional development more effective. It is anticipated that this study will provide important insights into how to construct positive professional development that benefits teachers and ESL students to the largest possible degree.

Indonesian Government launched teacher certification program in order to increase the quality of teachers. This policy is expected to foster teacher’s competences and prosperity. In terms of competency, this program enhances teachers to develop their professionalism especially in teaching and other academic activities. Test and training are provided to take this program. Several requirements such as the minimum qualification, teacher’s portfolio are also given as the elements or components of the teacher certification program administration. Dealing with the prosperity, teachers who passed this program are also given financial support. Some studies on the effectiveness of teacher certification program were conducted. The results showed that this program does not guarantee teachers to have quality improvement. However, it does not mean this program is not successful at all or it does not have any advantage or contribution for teachers. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss on how far teacher certification program lead teachers to develop their professionalism and bring them into lifelong learning activities or situation.

In this article, we look in general at the nature of a profession, how the teaching profession has become deprofessionalized, and various ways in which teachers perceive their profession. We continue by examining ways that teachers can regain a sense of professionalism—through the application of action research and other forms of teacher inquiry—as well as how these activities and initiatives can help teachers to build capacity, regain their lost autonomy, and lend voice to their professional work, especially in light of the recent and current COVID-19 pandemic. Next, we present support for these ideas, offered by highly-experienced teachers in the field. We close with a summary discussion of the approach we are advocating—including considerations for school leaders in the support of teacher inquiry—as well as a discussion of future directions for the larger picture issue of teacher professionalism.

The article deals with the new opportunities for teachers’ creative self-realization and self-improvement in the context of educational reform with the application of the Framework for Continuous Professional Development of Teachers. The relevance of this topic is caused by the search for mechanisms of self-reflection, self-actualization, and self-development of the teacher. This is encouraged by the Teacher Framework for Continuing Professional Development, which is a guideline for creating innovative models of professional development of teachers. The purpose of the article is to reveal new opportunities for teachers’ creative self-realization and self-improvement in terms of educational reform with the application of the Framework for Continuous Professional Development of Teachers. We have used the analysis of scientific developments and the sources on the problem of continuous professional development of a teacher, psychological and pedagogical, educational and methodological literature, information sources on the problem of research. As a result of the study we have found out that supporting the continuous professional development of teachers using the Framework for Continuing Professional Development of Teachers is an effective tool for reflective analysis and reconstruction of their professional path, and therefore − a necessary condition for professional growth. So, an important component of the roadmap of professional development of the teacher is awareness of the teachers of his\her professional role as a facilitator of learning. A motivated teacher, who uses the Framework for Continuing Professional Development, can anticipate and design the trajectory of their growth, success in teaching, opportunities and obstacles to achieving goals The analysis of scientific literature, information sources on the research problem shows that self-reference acquires special significance for teachers of all levels from a novice teacher who has just chosen this profession to a creative professional.

Teacher voices hold weight for their colleagues. When teachers tell a story of a positive experience with technology (or other teaching tools or strategies), they are showing that it is possible. “Stories, particularly those that are concrete and readily identified with, are particularly powerful for
transferring knowledge rich in tacit dimensions” (Swap, Leonard, Shields, & Abrams, 2001, p. 105). When teachers share their stories with each other, they create a reality based on concrete possibility. This article will focus on how we use teacher stories and conversations in professional development (PD) to create positive realities for teaching and learning.

Abstract Research conducted by the British Council concerning modern continuous professional development of teachers has been analyzed. The issue concerning foreign language teachers’ professional development has been considered. Productive approach to this process that gives a teacher the opportunities to define aspects of their professional activities that are in need of improvement and introduce appropriate strategies of their own professional development has been characterized. Direct connection between continuous teachers’ professional development and the level of students’ academic achievements has been stressed. Key characteristics of effective professional development have been defined, namely: being correspondent to actual needs of teachers and students; teachers’ involvement into the decision making concerning the content and the fulfillment of professional development; provision of cooperation and teachers’ experience exchange; collegiality presupposing common work of teachers and educational establishments in general; practicality, that is the fulfillment of professional development directly in the process of teachers’ work in class; obligatory character of professional development as indispensable part of teachers’ work; constant reflection and research; prioritizing academic achievements of students as the main stimulus for professional learning of teachers; continuity of professional development and its consideration not as separate forms of work. Modern widely used forms of teacher professional development have been analyzed, namely: self-education, common lessons planning with their further analysis; professional discussions concerning new teaching techniques and the appropriateness of their application; reflexive groups for teaching experience exchange and lessons analysis (video recording of lessons or students’ works), observation/attending teachers’ lessons with their further discussion in constructive form and without formal evaluation; participation in professional learning communities to solve urgent issues concerning school work and teachers’ professional activities; common work of teachers with curricula for detailed studying of problematic issues and their elimination; common teachers’ elaboration of learning materials for definite groups of students; participation in mentoring programs; work in online educational communities It has been proved that modern professional development of foreign language teachers shifts its focus from the competency of a teacher to the level of students’ academic achievements which is the direct indicator of a teacher’s competency.

This research made use of a phenomenological approach to understand profoundly the lived experiences of language teachers towards professional development and optimizing their teacher factors. It aimed to highlight the views of English teachers regarding the teacher factor and professional development, the barriers they encounter in English language teaching, and the ways where they could improve themselves as professional teachers. This qualitative study made use of remote interviews via zoom in analyzing the professional development activities employed by English teachers and the other facets connected to them during the school year 2022-2023. Fifteen (15) English teachers teaching in SUCs or Private HEIs were chosen to be the participants of the study. Semi-structured open-ended questions were asked. Data were manually organized and structured from the interviews and thorough scrutiny of themes and identification of essential features were conducted. It was found that teachers’ ongoing reflection, evaluation, and analysis of their own practices are necessary elements of their professional development as these can support them to construct new teaching theories and improve their performances. Therefore, optimizing the teacher factor must be every teacher’s hunger, concern, and intended purpose. Such development does not only depend on formal learning, but it can also be self-initiated by teachers.

The article discusses the features of professional development and self-development of teachers and students of pedagogical educational institutions in Russia, India, Brazil. Russian researchers analyze the influence of activity of future teachers in digital environment on their professional development and self-development, as well as the relationship of professional development with students' self-determination, namely, goal setting. Empirically, the relationship between the digital activity of students of the pedagogical magistracy and the desire for professional self-development was revealed, which, in turn, depends on the severity of the goals and their orientation on obtaining a teaching profession. The study of Indian scientists is aimed at studying the quality of life of teachers on the effectiveness of professional development. It was found that the majority of Indian teachers has a low level of professional development. Factors that negatively affect the level of professional development were identified, namely: low financial status, unfavorable family environment, physical and psychological well-being, job security. Researchers also consider reasons for professional development, including lack of time, lack of accountability for professional development activities etc. The Brazilian study examines the features of social perceptions of teachers about teacher education and their professional development. The authors depicted social perceptions of teachers about teacher education based on four categories: planning, didactic procedures; assessment and teacher-student relationship. The article also provides recommendations for the successful application of pedagogical practice and the creation of an environment for the teachers’ professional development, taking into account the results of all three blocks by countries participating in this study.

Teachers as professionals have very important functions, roles, and positions in achieving the vision of national education, namely creating intelligent and competitive Indonesian people. Teachers should develop their profession as a dignified profession. One form of teacher professional development is to write scientific papers, but the reality in the field is that teacher activities are still in the vision and mission of education and teaching while scientific vision and mission in the form of scientific writing and publications are often neglected. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research data were obtained through interviews, document analysis, participation observation, and focus group discussions. The results showed that the difficulties of teachers in writing scientific papers included: low motivation of teachers in writing, not having enough free time, lack of understanding of writing techniques, difficulties in finding data, technological stuttering, not having reference books, widespread writing services, lack of functioning of Subject Teacher Discussion (MGMP) activities in socializing writing papers, and lack of socialization from schools/institutions. The efforts that have been made by teachers to develop professionalism through writing scientific papers as a form of professional development were by: attending training/workshops, self-study, participating in competitions/tests. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to the principal to conduct workshops on an ongoing basis, add library reference books, conduct computer training, apply a managerial reward and punishment pattern, control and monitor the implementation of MGMP and control and monitor the activities of the teacher performance appraisal team and the development team. sustainable profession.

Analysis of critical incidents is one of the approaches of teacher professional development. A critical incident is any unplanned event which takes place during the class. It is something we interpret as a problem or challenge in a particular context, rather than a routine occurrence. The incident is said to be critical because it is valuable and has some meaning. In other words, incidents happen but critical incidents are created because of their importance. Teachers can critically analyze any of their lessons and can make a particular event critical by reflecting on it. The teachers ask not only what happened but also why it happened. They then use the incidents for future reference. This article deals with the benefits of critical incidents and the ways to analyze them, which lead to successful teacher professional development.Journal of NELTA Surkhet, Vol. 5 January, 2018f, Page: 82-88

The research study concentrates on the detection of perception of the degree of importance of selected teacher’s professional competences in the teacher’s evaluation process, i.e. teacher’s success in teaching. Perception of the degree of importance of professional competences of teachers is realized depending on the variables teacher versus head teacher and the degree of importance (1–5). We set up the hypothesis that there are differences in the perception of the importance degree of teacher’s professional competences with respect to teacher and head teacher. We based our assumption on Frey’s evaluation theory, or diagnosis of teacher’s competences and Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy. The research was conducted with 730 respondents from among teachers and 146 respondents from among head teachers of primary and secondary schools in Slovakia during the period from September 2015 to January 2016. Teacher’s perception of the degree of importance of teacher’s professional competences we surveyed using the Teacher’s competence assessment questionnaire for teachers and the head teacher’s perception of the degree of importance teacher’s professional competences using the Teacher’ competence assessment questionnaire for head teachers. The questionnaires were developed within the research project APVV-14-0446 Evaluation of teacher’s competences. We found out that the teachers’ and head teachers’ perception of the degree of importance of various teachers’ professional competences is different. The perception differs in the following professional competences: can identify psychological and social factors of pupil’s learning, can plan and implement their own professional development, can use material resources in the teaching process.

Purpose Within teacher education, many experienced in-service teachers routinely mentor pre-service teachers during teaching practicums. Notwithstanding the benefits pre-service teachers are meant to experience from these mentor–protégé relationships and experiences, recent research has demonstrated that mentors, too, may experience some (oftentimes unintended) potential benefits. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate such potential benefits within a Canadian secondary school physical education (PE) context. Design/methodology/approach The researchers employed a qualitative case study methodology. The three primary data sources included field observations/notes, journals and interviews. More specifically, over a ten-week period, the researchers made 26 field visits, observing two mentors’ interactions with five protégés before, during, and after PE class instruction; collected the two mentors’ ten journal entries, all made in response to researcher-provided writing prompts; and interviewed the two mentors, both individually and together. Findings The mentor teachers viewed the mentor–protégé relationship/experience as meaningful professional development, recognizing that it approximated a professional learning community. Relatedly, the mentor teachers experienced professional growth with respect to their own teaching identity and teaching practice. Research limitations/implications This research could inform those who structure and/or coordinate mentoring research within teacher education programs so that they might place a more purposeful focus upon the potential and/or idealized outcomes for mentors (as well as for protégés). Given the single case study methodology, this research may lack generalizability to other educational contexts. Originality/value This research adds to the emerging body of research that investigates how mentoring may provide benefits to mentors. More specifically, this research suggests benefits to mentors relate, especially, to their own teaching identity and practice.

This paper was an attempt to redesign the current professional development training for Mathematics teachers in the Philippines. Mathematics teachers claimed that most training and seminars they attended ignored their local work context; was routinely and was hardly applicable to their classroom milieu. By utilizing the transformative professional development training, the teachers identified the classroom issues that had confronted them; restructured their useful pedagogical ideas and instructional plans and materials; implemented these in their classrooms; and shared their reflections on the new teaching experiences. Qualitative data were gathered from focus group discussions and key informant interviews. University researchers (3), secondary Mathematics teachers (28), and students (250) from four rural public schools in the Hamiguitan Range participated. The teachers and students revealed that their lack of self and environmental understanding were the prevalent issues that led to critical behavior in Mathematical cognition and learning. By applying the transformative education in the classroom, promising results like better teacher performance, improved students' interest, and maximized student participation were evident. This transformative professional development training adequately responded to the teachers' work needs and was recommended to other areas of learning.

In this study the aim was to investigate the development of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of early career chemistry teachers. Two pre-service chemistry teachers were followed during a one-semester course and after a three-year period as formal high school teachers. The data involved teachers´ writings, recordings of lessons and reflections during the course. After three years, the same content lessons in an actual school environment were videotaped. The teachers were then interviewed using the videotapes for stimulated recall. The instruments Content Representation (CoRe) and Pedagogical and Professional-experience Repertoires (PaP-eR´s) were used to document and to describe teachers’ PCK. Analysis of discursive interaction patterns was performed during lessons. Data analysis was based on the components of teacher knowledge as described in the Morine-Dershimer Model. The development of PCK was enhanced during the pre-service teacher education through the experiences of planning and conducting interventions in the classroom and particularly during the reflection-on-action activities. Results after three years of professional experience revealed an improvement in these teachers’ PCK and highlighted the central role of the reflection process and practical experience. From the analysis carried out, it emphasized the need to act in these early years of professional experience through collaborative groups, supporting the reflection process and aiming to contribute more directly to the development of teachers' PCK. Key words: pedagogical content knowledge, teacher's knowledge, teacher’s professional development.

The contemporary development strategy of Russian education puts forward several requirements for the system of additional education for children and teachers engaged in this field. The teacher must have the ability to self-development and self-improvement, be engaged in creative and innovative activities. The authors note that in the current conditions, the teacher must choose the only correct trajectory of professional advancement that will lead to the achievement of the desired results. The individual trajectory of personal and professional development of a teacher can be represented as a trajectory of professional self-development and self-improvement of a teacher of additional education in the course of teacher’s methodological work. The purpose of the current research is to develop, theoretically substantiate, and experimentally test the program for implementing an individual trajectory of personal and professional development of additional education teacher in the course of teacher’s methodological work. Implementation of individual trajectories of personal and professional development of additional education teachers in the educational organization involves the development of a specific action plan of the heads of departments, educational and methodological service of the institution, as well as very additional education teachers. The tasks of the educational and methodical service of an educational organization in this process are aimed at encouraging teachers, attracting them to innovative activities, various types of methodological work, and providing pedagogical and methodological support. The use of individual trajectory of personal and professional development in the course of organizing methodological work in the educational organization of additional education contributes to an increase in the professional competence of teachers as well as the development of their interest in this process.
