This study was aimed at investigating research and development (R&D) model applied to Akidah-Akhlak subject teachers in strengthening their students’ character in madrasah in South Jakarta. This research applied R&D using ADDIE version which consisted of: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were selected purposively involving 30 teachers.  The results of the study show that the training model for the teachers was carried out with an emphasis on empowering the teachers’ professionalism. The development program was implemented through training and mentoring based on the modules. The results of the module-based teacher professional development can build the students’ character. The syntax for the training program started from preliminary studies, model descriptions compilation, model development, and professional teacher outcomes (compiling lesson plan, carrying out learning activities, conducting classroom action research). The implementation of the module-based teacher professional development had a significant impact on increasing the teachers’ pedagogic competence. They demonstrated a teaching vision that emphasized the importance of teaching the subject to their students. Teaching and learning activity which is based on the teachers’ professionalism can build students’ positive character in madrasah in South Jakarta.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the boarding Teacher Professional Development Program (PPG SM-3T) in State University of Padang (SUP). This research was an evaluation study using a part of the CIPP model, namely the process evaluation. The research questions for this study were 1) how is the effectiveness of the implementation of PPG SM-3T boarding program? 2) what are the weaknesses in implementing the PPG SM-3T boarding program in SUP? Data in this study were collecting using questionnaires and interview techniques. Informants of this study were the participants of the PPG SM-3T PSU and managers program. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistic techniques. The results of this study revealed that all over management of program implementation was considered less effective by the participants. The weaknesses of the program implementation are as follows. 1) The boarding education programs was less-organized, causing some programs were not function properly and often the schedule were not followed strictly; (2) Lack of coordination between the management and weakness supervision/controlling manager on the boarding activities resulted in less well executed program.

AbstractFrom a design perspective, this paper offers a response to the impact, value, and application of a manuscript published by Philipsen et al. (Improving teacher professional development for online and blended learning: A systematic meta-aggregative review. Educational Technology and Research Development, 67, 1145–1174. 10.1007/s11423-019-09645-8, 2019). Philipsen et al. (2019) reviewed what constitutes an effective teacher professional development program (TPD) for online and blended learning (OBL), with our response focusing on its value and application in light of an emergency shift to digital to address a global pandemic. This paper also proceeds to examine limitations in previous research into the subject and future research opportunities to investigate important components that inform the design of a resilient and scalable TPD for OBL.

Data collected within this qualitative, multiple-case study included teachers' knowledge building preferences for written speech in a virtual community of practice (VCoP), blended learning, teacher professional development program. This data was analyzed using the theoretical tenets of Vygotsky's social constructivist learning theory. Through heterogeneous sampling, six sites were selected from 11 program participating schools, with 11 participating teachers purposively selected from these sites. Following semi-structured participant interviews, data were coded and analyzed, where the findings indicated that participants preferred the audiovisual learning content to the written activity format in the blended learning, VCoP teacher professional development program. Program developers may use the research findings to guide the development of VCoP content alternatives to singularly text based online professional development delivery models. Recommendations for future research include studies that address the impact of audiovisual VCoP content on knowledge building.

The current article provides an overview of a Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program that has been designed, pilot tested, and implemented to investigate the impact of augmented reality (AR) on: (a) Teachers’ level of technology (AR) acceptance, adoption of inquiry-based instructional approaches, and confidence towards teaching twentieth-first century skills in STEM-related courses; and (b) students’ potential enhancement of specific twentieth-first century skills and motivation and interest during a STEM- (science, technology, engineering, mathematics)-related course supported with AR. This article focuses on the teachers’ points of view concerning the impact of their STEM-related interventions on their students’ motivation and learning, as well as the factors that influence the teachers’ technology acceptance. The TPD program has been implemented in Cyprus and Greece with twenty-five lower secondary school teachers (20 in Cyprus and 5 in Greece). The research methodology applied is Educational Design Research (EDR), including an initial phase of the TPD program and a second (improved) phase. The data collection tools consisted of questionnaires, interviews, and observation of classroom interventions. Initial findings and their implications for teaching and future research are discussed, indicating the potential benefits and challenges surrounding the integration of AR within the educational process.
