Zeggelaar, Albert; Vermeulen, Marjan; Jochems, Wim – Professional Development in Education, 2022
The environment in which Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools operate changes rapidly due to more varied student populations, personalised, blended and work-based learning paths, developments in digitalisation, industry, and labour markets. These changes and policy pressures to ensure VET quality, demand teachers to continuously develop…

James, Wendy; Tunison, Scott – Professional Development in Education, 2023
While there is widespread agreement about the need to evaluate professional development, actual evaluation remains rare, despite the fact that K-12 school districts invest in professional development as the main mechanism to grow teacher practice and improve student learning. This article explores research literature about why current mechanisms…

Nordengren, Chase R. – Professional Development in Education, 2023
Professional learning evaluators struggle to balance the pursuit of rigorous outcomes with the time and money that some effective measures entail. While many evaluations rely on surveys for their ease of administration and application, little research has explored how surveys can measure multiple constructs beyond participant satisfaction as part…

Boylan, Mark – Professional Development in Education, 2021
Evaluations of professional development programmes often seek to represent definitive outcomes, with phenomena posited as discrete, bounded and independent entities, and researchers positioned as external actors. An alternative is to understand the complexity of these relationships as entanglements by applying Baradian concepts. The value of this…

Garner, Joanna K.; Kaplan, Avi – Professional Development in Education, 2021

Boylan, Mark; Coldwell, Mike; Maxwell, Bronwen; Jordan, Julie – Professional Development in Education, 2018
One approach to designing, researching or evaluating professional learning experiences is to use models of learning processes. Here we analyse and critique five significant contemporary analytical models: three variations on path models, proposed by Guskey, by Desimone and by Clarke and Hollingsworth; a model using a systemic conceptualisation of…
