| Abstract: | The results of a questionnaire-based investigation carried out across China regarding teachers’ professional development were
used to create an extensive database. Chinese teachers’ subjective evaluation of a number of professional development policies
was statistically analyzed. From their ratings, it is shown that in schools across China, differences exist in terms of the
effectiveness of professional development policies in teaching profession. Striking differences exist between regions as well
as between school levels. Multi regression analysis has shown that training and refresher courses are two of the major factors
that influence differences in teachers’ evaluation of policy implementation. A key finding is that the provision of many different
types of training does not necessarily help bring about effective policy. |
