In addition, it was found that motivation levels of teachers differed significantly in favour of female teachers, those who had bachelor’s degree and choose teaching profession of their own will, whereas it did not differ significantly according to the branches. On the other hand, it was determined that participation levels of teachers in professional development activities did not differ significantly according to gender, branch and education level, however, they differed significantly in favour of those who chose teaching profession of their own will. Finally, a moderate level, positive and statistically significant relation was found between teachers’ motivation and their levels of participation in professional development activities.
