Evaluation of teacher professional development program: A review of pre-service English teacher professionalism

The growing need for proficient educators has driven the
government to establish extensive Pre-service Teacher Professional
Development Programs. This research examined the
implementation of the English Language Pre-service Teacher
Professional Development Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah
Malang. Employing a field research approach, this qualitative study
utilized the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) model to
analyze the program's effectiveness. The study yielded descriptive
data, shedding light on the program's impact on participants'
professionalism. The findings revealed a significant enhancement
in the participants' professional competencies. This improvement is
evident in their expanded knowledge of pedagogical content, as well
as their heightened skills in preparing all facets related to the
English language teaching (ELT) process. This encompasses the
creation of ELT materials, instructional media, the utilization of
diverse teaching, and school administrative management. The
significance of this research lies in its contribution to the ongoing
discourse on teacher professional development in the context of
English language education. The study's insights could inform
educational policymakers, curriculum designers, and teacher
training institutions about the strengths and areas of improvement
within the program. This research aimed to enrich the quality of
English language education and foster the growth of proficient and
dedicated educators.
