It has been shown that teachers have passed through various professional development stages throughout their career cycles and these teachers have different interests, concerns, emotions, competence, and development struggles at each stage. As teachers evolve professionally, they specialize in their fields or acquire new perspectives as they switch between various career stages. In studies where the career stages of teachers are examined, it shows that a teacher's professional development stages are usually categorized into three to eight stages. The career development stages of the teachers are dealt with in eight stages in this study. These stages are pre-service, survival and induction, competency building, enthusiasm and growing, career frustration, career stability, career wind down and conservatism, and career exit. Career cycles are not consecutive linear stages in which each teacher goes through the same sequence. However, researches  show that many teachers have similar experiences in similar career stages. For this reason, it is very important to organize in-service training activities by considering the professional development stages of the teachers.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetÖğretmenlerin kariyerleri boyunca çeşitli mesleki gelişim evrelerinden geçtikleri, her bir aşamada öğretmenlerin farklı ilgi, kaygı, duygu, yeterlik ve gelişim çabası içinde oldukları ortaya konulmuştur. Öğretmenler mesleki anlamda geliştikçe, alanlarında uzmanlaştıkça veya yeni bakış açıları kazandıkça, çeşitli kariyer evreleri arasında geçiş yapmaktadırlar. Öğretmenlerin kariyer evrelerinin incelendiği çalışmalarda genellikle öğretmen mesleki gelişim evreleri üç ila sekiz aşamaya kadar uzanan bir sınıflandırma içinde ele alınmıştır. Öğretmen kariyer gelişim evreleri bu çalışmada sekiz aşamalı olarak ele alınmıştır. Hizmet öncesi,  işe alışma, yeterlik,  coşku ve gelişim, mesleki hüsran,  mesleki durağanlık, mesleki sönme- muhafazakârlık,  meslekten ayrılma olarak sıralanan bu aşamalar, her öğretmenin aynı şekilde geçtiği birbirini ardışık olarak izleyen doğrusal aşamalar değildir. Ancak yapılan araştırmalar pek çok öğretmenin benzer kariyer evrelerinde benzer deneyimler yaşadıklarını da göstermektedir. Bu nedenle hizmet içi eğitim çalışmalarının öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişim aşamaları dikkate alınarak düzenlenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.

This qualitative study reports on the knowledge and usage of context responsive pedagogy (CRP) based on five rural primary school teachers in Jamaica. The main findings revealed that the teachers found CRP beneficial to students, had limited knowledge of CRP, and that their use of CRP was driven by their humanistic beliefs. The findings therefore have implications for teacher professional development. The author recommends that given the benefits of CRP and the strategies required by the National Standards Curriculum (NSC), CRP should be taught to teachers in their pre-service training programme.

Teacher Professional Development is a key component of educational reforms across the world due to its effects on teacher effectiveness and learner outcomes. Teachers engage in different professional development programs to improve learner achievements. However, the effects of teacher participation in in-service courses on learners’ achievement have come under scrutiny due to persistent low learning outcomes. The study adopted convergent parallel mixed methods approach design. A sample of 194 teachers in 68 public and private primary schools was selected using stratified random and purposive sampling. Data collection instruments were questionnaires and focus group discussion guide. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that teacher participation in formal training programs had statistically insignificant effects on Kenya Certificate of Primary Examination achievement indicating that other factors like individualized attention to learners, prompt marking and revision of tests as well as supervision of teaching and learning contributed greatly. The in-service courses were found to be short term and infrequent. The study recommends engagement of teachers in continuous and frequent professional development activities and establishment of school infrastructure to support daily collaborative teacher professional development activities at the school level.

Along the evolving teaching journey, teachers experience a series of events that allow them to transition from novice to expert. Throughout the years, such transition has been the object of theories and debates about how this process is carried out, and when it is that teachers move from one stage to the other. This article presents a study of a Mexican teacher of English and examines the professional-developmental stages based on Huberman’s (1993) career cycle model. Its aim is to understand the challenges and decisions a teacher may encounter in her or his career. The article shows the realities a teacher faces by exploring the concepts of emotions, identity, socialization, and agency. Moreover, it questions the belief that teachers achieve expertise through accumulating years of practice.

Professionalism has been estimated as the most important fundamental impetus in progress. Teacher profession as the most important within-school factor has been emerged to explain effective teaching and learning by research. In viewing of teacher in-service training, professional development and innovation is thus highlighted as key prerequisite for high quality teaching. Factor analysis of teacher professional development and evaluation based on math methods was primarily to identify factorial sequences of activity involving two teamwork in the classroom. The purpose of this study is to perform to: 1) Couple quantitative and qualitative accesses to display teaching research; 2) Deliver the differences of pedagogical reasoning between graduate students and undergraduate students; 3) Analyze and visualize the educational practices based on math methods, the former is to embody educational performance in academic features, the latter is to communicate concretely and contextually. Researchtechniques herewith are Nagai’s proposals of Rasch model GSP curve (RaschGSP curve), Grey structural modeling (GSM) and Matrix-based structure modeling (MSM) have been applied to illustrate structural analysis.
