EFFECTS OF AN IN-SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION COURSE ON LANGUAGE TEACHERS’ RESEARCH KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Current Issues in In-service Teacher education (INSET) course, one of the components of a Masters of Art (MA) program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), helps participating teachers develop as teacher-researchers. Seventeen non-native English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers participated in the study. The differences in participants’ research knowledge and practice were investigated through Teachers’ Research Knowledge Questionnaire, and other sources. The findings indicated that the participants’ research knowledge was broadened as a result of the instruction and the hands-on experience they gained throughout the course.
