Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmenlerin etkili mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerine yönelik görüşlerini belirlemektir. Araştırmada, durum çalışması desenlerinden iç içe geçmiş tek durum deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemine göre farklı illerden seçilen yedi yüz atmış yedi öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, etkili mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerinin sahip olduğu ortak özellikleri olarak; öğretmenin öğretim uygulamalarına etkisinin olması, aktif katılım ve uygulama yapmaya imkânı vermesi, işe yaraması, katılımcının ihtiyacına hitap etmesi, içeriğinin güncel olması, uzman kişilerce verilmesi, branşa ve alana özgü olması, öğrenci merkezli olup öğrencinin öğrenme çıktılarına olumlu etki etmesi gibi özellikler öne çıkmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda etkili mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerinin sahip olduğu ortak özellikler kapsamında; mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerine ilişkin öğretim programları ve mesleki gelişimi kolaylaştıran unsurlar olmak üzere iki tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Etkili mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerinin sahip olduğu ortak özelliklere ilişkin öğretmen görüşlerinin cinsiyet, eğitim kademesi, eğitim durumu ve kıdem değişkenlerine göre farklılıklar gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına dayalı olarak, öğretmenlere yönelik mesleki gelişim faaliyetlerinde nitelik ve standartların sağlanması için, mesleki gelişim programlarının ve içeriklerinin gözden geçirilmesi önerilmektedir.
