Effects of an inservice training program on the performance of Thai secondary school teachers of English

This is a study of how an intensive inservice training program affected the teaching performance of teachers of English in Thai secondary schools. The training program which was part of a nation-wide effort to improve English teaching in Thai schools incorporated elements that were recommended by inservice educators for effective results: knowledge base, demonstration, practice, feedback, and collegiality. The goal of the study was to investigate the degree to which the trainees implemented what they learned from the training program in their teaching, and the degree to which they dissemminated what they learned among their colleagues in their school staff development. Factors that accounted for the subjects' degrees of implementation and involvement in staff development were also sought for and examined.
