Abstract
This thesis is situated within the field of Educational Leadership and Teacher Professional Development and examines the role of professional learning in shaping instructional quality and teacher professional functioning. The study is theoretically grounded in adult learning theory, transformative learning theory, reflective practice, and self-efficacy theory, and is conceptually aligned with the OECD TALIS framework.
A quantitative research design was employed using a structured questionnaire exploring teachers’ professional development experiences, instructional practices, self-efficacy beliefs, and sources of occupational stress. The findings revealed strong positive correlations between professional development and the implementation of innovative and differentiated instructional practices, as well as between professional development and enhanced teacher self-efficacy. Teacher self-efficacy was found to mediate the relationship between professional development and reduced occupational stress, particularly in relation to external stressors such as institutional reforms, administrative demands, and parental expectations. Importantly, despite the presence of these external stress factors, teachers’ job satisfaction remained consistently high, indicating professional resilience and stability of professional identity. However, the association between professional development and critical reflective processes appeared comparatively weaker, suggesting the need for more transformative and reflective professional learning models.
The study contributes to the literature by empirically linking teacher professional development with instructional effectiveness and professional resilience.
