The Impact of In-service Training on Teachers' Teaching and Students' Learning

Abstract

    The study aimed to find out the impact and the outcomes of teacher training programs on teachers' professional development. A qualitative case study approach was adopted to investigate the question of interest. The setting of the study is a Primary School situated in Lahore. The data of the research is gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and focus group discussions with stakeholders involved. An overall positive impact of professional development training resulted in improved quality of the teaching as well as classroom learning. Eminently, the trained teachers felt increased motivation and started using technology to teach their subjects in which training was provided. Methods of teaching improved by promoting inquiry-based learning. The training course was also effective in promoting autonomous learning and student-centred classes. This study reemphasized the need for continuing professional development, especially curriculum and instruction-related trainings,for their benefit to teachers and students alike.
