Abstract
This study investigates the influence of an in-service teacher training (INSET) course on the professional development and classroom practices of novice teachers. After their completion of an INSET course, two novice English language teachers were invited to participate in the study. During a 15-week semester, their classes were periodically observed and audio-recorded. Additionally, each teacher was interviewed using stimulated recall. The results indicated although participants responded positively on the INSET programs’ contents, and felt the course contributed to their professional development, the INSET course did not have much effect on their teaching, due to interplay of cultural and contextual constraints.
Keywords: INSET, teacher development, novice teachers, teacher cognition.
