Abstract

This paper examines the contribution of high-quality teacher professional development (TPD) to the strategies teachers report using to improve students’ learning in the classroom. What was taught in this TPD, and how it was delivered to teachers is compared across the 35 educational systems with available data in TALIS 2013. Results suggest that teachers who take part in curriculum-focused TPD are more likely to report using a variety of the instructional methods considered in this study. Furthermore, TPD delivered with greater levels of teacher collaboration, active learning and longer duration also increases, in many countries and economies, the likelihood of teachers reporting using a large number of these strategies. In contrast, teachers’ exposure to TPD involving other teachers from the school (i.e. with collective participation) seems to be specifically detrimental for active teaching methods. The paper discusses the prevalence of these features, national gaps in their exposure and policy implications derived from these findings. Cet article examine dans quelle mesure un développement professionnel de qualité (DP) peut aider les enseignants à trouver des stratégies pour améliorer l'apprentissage des élèves en classe. Dans les 35 systèmes scolaires pour lesquels les données sont disponibles dans TALIS 2013, on compare le contenu et la manière de procurer ce développement professionnel aux enseignants. Les résultats suggèrent que le DP axé sur le curriculum augmente la probabilité que les enseignants déclarent utiliser une variété de méthodes d’instruction décrites dans cette étude. En outre, les enseignants qui déclarent avoir participé à des activités de développement professionnel mettant en oeuvre un niveau élevé de collaboration entre enseignants et un apprentissage actif sur le long terme utilisent un nombre important de ces stratégies. En revanche, l'exposition des enseignants au DP impliquant d'autres enseignants de l'école (par exemple avec la participation collective) semble être particulièrement néfaste pour les méthodes pédagogiques actives. Ce document traite de la prévalence de ces caractéristiques, des lacunes nationales dans leur exposition et des implications politiques découlant de ces conclusions.
