IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON SELF EFFICACY OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to know that Professional development play a crucial role in improving the self-efficacy and problem-solving skills of mathematics teachers at the secondary level. By providing teachers with new knowledge, skills, and opportunities to apply these in real-world settings, they can become more confident and effective in their teaching of mathematics. The objectives of the study were to assess the perceptions of mathematics teachers about their professional development in mathematics and to investigate the impact of professional development on self-efficacy and problem-solving skills of mathematics teachers. The population of the study was contained the all teachers of three districts in Hazara division. The reliability of the scale is determined through Cronbach’s Alpha and all the statements were found reliable. Data were collected, scored, tabulated and analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation and person correlation and regression as tests of statistical. Education policymakers may consider the findings of this study when designing and implementing professional development programs for teachers to ensure that they are having the desired impact on teachers’ skills and competencies. Recognition of the role of other factors: The study suggests that while professional development may have some impact on teachers’ skills, other factors such as prior experience and education may play a larger role.
