Abstract

A key lever for improving teaching is provision of effective professional development. This paper uses TALIS 2013 data to consider personal and school-level factors associated with teacher participation in effective professional development and reports of impact on instruction. Results of the analyses indicate that levels of teacher co-operation and instructionally-focused leadership in schools are associated with higher levels of effective professional development participation and reported instructional impact. Systems also vary significantly on the percentage of teachers in schools with supportive conditions and this is associated with differences in teacher participation in professional development types and reported instructional impact. Offrir des possibilités de formation continue constitue assurément un levier efficace pour améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement. Ce document utilise les données issues de l’enquête TALIS 2013 pour étudier les facteurs, tant au niveau des individus qu’au niveau des établissements scolaires, qui interviennent dans la participation des enseignants à des programmes de formation continue. Il rend compte également de l’effet de ces programmes sur l’enseignement. Les résultats de cette étude indiquent que la coopération entre enseignants et un leadership des chefs d’établissement centré sur l’instruction sont associés à une plus grande participation des enseignants à des programmes de formation continue et à de plus grandes retombées pour l’enseignement. Le pourcentage d’enseignants qui bénéficient de conditions favorables dans leur environnement de travail varie de manière significative d’un système d’éducation à l’autre. Cette réalité est associée à des niveaux différents de participation à des programmes de formation continue et à des effets différents sur l’enseignement.
