• W35242478 abstract "the quality of teaching is a very significant factor in influencing pupils' attitudes and interestto learn primary science. However, a large body of research literature shows that manylacking the confidence and competence to teach science effectively. In many countriesprofessional development of teachers has been seen as a key strategy to improving teachermodel of professional development has been shown to have little effect on teaching orlearning back in the classroom. In response to this, a model of professional development wasdeveloped for this study based on the characteristics of effective professional developmentfrom a wide body of contemporary literature. Key features of the model included: activeparticipation, meaningful collaboration, continuity, and feedback.This study was concerned with investigating the influence of a two year longtheir confidencescience. The specific aims of the study were to:investigate the extent to which a professional development programme designed inthe light of recent research findings can bring about improvements in confidence,competence and attitudes among primary teachers where the teaching of science isconcerned;break down the insulation and isolation teachers experience in their day -to-dayprofessional lives;The research involved 24 teachers and 281 pupils from fifteen small rural primary schools.The study was undertaken using a mixed methods approach. The methods of data collectionwere pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, semi - structured interviews, and cognitivetests.Findings from this study showed that the participants became substantially moreconfident and competent in teaching primary science. Most significantly, teachers madedramatic changes in the way they taught science, resulting in their pupils becoming morepositive and motivated to learn science. Evidence from the study also showed that the programme made significant inroads into (1) breaking down the traditional culture of teacher isolation and (2) building up a professional learning community. These are important findings that should influence planners of future professional development programmes, especially those programmes being designed for teachers in small rural primary schools. By the end of Year One of the programme, teachers were actively exchanging resources, sharing ideas, engaging in innovative methodologies and pedagogical discussions with their colleagues.The experience from this study suggests that if professional development for teachers in primary science is to be really fruitful it should include the following key features: (1) on- going and long-term support for teachers; (2) emphasis on content and pedagogy; (3) actively engage participants; (4) collaborative in nature; (5) provide feedback and reflection; and (6) have appropriate and systematic procedures for evaluation." @default.
