Educational reform efforts support professional development (PD) programs for teachers as a means to establishing possible outcomes that may affect changing teacher practices, student learning, and impact on economic and educational foundations. PD programs require evaluation in order to appraise their effectiveness, and seeking participant opinion following program implementation is one such valid method. The aim of the current study is to determine in-service physics teachers' evaluation about the impact of a long-term PD program. Qualitative research methodology was employed in this study. Research was conducted with seven teachers, with data collected through a workshop session evaluation checklist (WSEC) and a PD program evaluation interview protocol (PDEIP). Interviews were audio-recorded and then responses to each question transcribed. According to the WSEC data, all sessions broadly reached their aims. The session which teachers considered the least contributive to their developmental gain was on the topic of "Misconception." The PDEIP results showed that teachers used more student-centered methods and more varied teaching materials in their lessons following their participation in the PD program. Following the PD program, some teachers reportedly started using placement assessment.

Exploring Non Native English Teachers Professional Development Practices
Korkmazgil, Sibel; Seferoğlu, Gölge (2013-01-01)
One-shot professional development activities designed and accomplished without considering teachers’ needs are generally reported to fail to lead to long-lasting changes in terms of teacher growth and learning. Therefore, professional development programs need to be based on the immediate needs of teachers, and designed and directed with teachers’ input. In this regard, this study aims to investigate a group of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ professional development practices in Turkey in ord...
The effects of an in-service teacher training certificate program on the teaching practices of novice teachers
Personn, Jan; Yiğitoğlu, Nur; Department of English Language Teaching (2014-6)
Although there have been a number of studies focusing on the contents of In Service Teacher Training (INSET) and the perceptions of teachers attending INSET courses, the objectives in the INSET course guidelines and the possible effects of INSET on classroom teaching seem to be receiving considerably less attention. In an attempt to address this gap in the literature, this study focuses on an INSET course designed by a reputable British university offered at a Turkish university. The study aims to investiga...
The Effects of a professional development program on physics teachers’ classroom practices
Oktay, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a professional development (PD) program on in-service physics teachers’ classroom practices. Changes in teachers’ practices were investigated in terms of four dimensions: content/skill/ misconception, teaching strategy, material/technology, and assessment. Qualitative research methodology was used in the study, and a case study was combined with action research. Data were collected from seven participating teachers (1 male, 6 female) and their 9th grade ...
