بررسی نقش اعضای انکشاف مسلکی در توسعه مهارت های معلمان مکاتب شهر مزار شریف

Abstract

Professional development members, often serving as educational guides, play a pivotal role in enhancing teachers’ professional competencies and improving instructional quality. This study investigates the role and effectiveness of professional development members in supporting teachers’ skill growth in the schools of Mazar-e-Sharif during the 1403 AH academic year. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the qualitative phase, purposive sampling was used to conduct interviews with 10 professional development members and 10 principals and deputy heads from five selected secondary schools. In the quantitative phase, a random sample of 100 teachers from the same schools completed a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that professional development members primarily assist teachers in designing effective lesson plans, implementing modern and student-centered teaching methods, and adopting active learning strategies. They also provide continuous feedback through coaching, workshops, and classroom observations to identify teachers’ strengths and areas for improvement. The discussion emphasizes that professional development members have a significant and positive impact on teachers’ instructional practices and contribute to creating an engaging and effective learning environment. Their support not only enhances teaching performance but also promotes improved student learning outcomes.
