Abstract:
|
A review of publications in Teaching and Teacher Education over ten years (2000e2010) on teacher
professional development is the subject of the paper. The first part synthesises production referred to
learning, facilitation and collaboration, factors influencing professional development, effectiveness of
professional development and issues around the themes. The second part, selects from the production
nine articles for closer examination. The paper concludes by noting how the production brings out the
complexities of teacher professional learning and how research and development have taken cognisance
of these factors and provided food for optimism about their effects, although not yet about their
sustainability in time. |
