Investigation of a Teachers Continued Profesional Development in a Thai Context
Abstract
When asked, most educators will be quick to stress the importance of their own professional development and cite the necessary stress placed on continued professional development (CPD) by the teaching industry. However, when pressed for details, it might become quickly apparent that only lip service is being paid to the idea; with many teachers not really making much effort to develop their teaching skills, unless there are some coercive external factors to force them to do it. There is, however, in the current climate of educational development, a significant movement towards the encouragement of teacher development and a recognized need to facilitate improvements in pedagogy and ensure that lifelong learning is not just a concept that is only instilled in students.Downloads
