Introduction
Teacher training is a process designed to equip educators with the necessary skills,
knowledge, and techniques to enhance their teaching effectiveness. Professional development
programs play a crucial role in improving teaching strategies, classroom management, and
subject matter expertise, ultimately leading to better student learning outcomes (Ulla, 2018). A
well-trained teacher can apply various pedagogical approaches that foster student engagement
and academic achievement (Giovazolias et al., 2019).
The importance of teacher training has been emphasized in numerous studies (Oliveira et
al., 2019; Supriatna, 2015; Ulla, 2017). Effective teacher training programs address common
educational challenges and improve the overall quality of instruction (Schütze et al., 2017). In
modern education, continuous professional development is a necessity, as it enhances curriculum
implementation, assessment methods, and the creation of a conducive learning environment
(Zulfiqar, 2016).
A skilled and well-trained teacher can effectively implement diverse teaching strategies
that cater to different learning styles and needs (Saira et al., 2021). Research has shown that
when teachers apply evidence-based instructional methods, students tend to perform better
academically and develop a greater interest in their studies (Wuryaningsih et al., 2019).
Education is a fundamental component of societal development, and a nation's progress largely
depends on the quality of its education system (Hafeez et al., 2020).
Secondary education, which caters to students aged 13–16 years, serves as a critical stage
in shaping students’ cognitive abilities, including reflective, scientific, and critical thinking skills
(van & Janssen, 2019). Teachers act as facilitators of knowledge, guiding students through the
learning process and helping them acquire essential competencies (Obidike, 2017). To achieve
meaningful learning outcomes, educational psychologists have developed various teaching
methodologies tailored to different cognitive domains and learning contexts (Mahasneh, 2020).
In conclusion, teacher training plays a vital role in enhancing student learning. Schools
and educational institutions that prioritize continuous professional development for teachers tend
to experience significant improvements in student performance and overall educational
outcomes.
