Abstract

Online teacher professional development has shown benefits in enhancing and improving teacher competences in providing classroom experiences which eventually may improve student academic achievements (de Kramer et. al, 2012). In designing an effective online teacher professional development, a need analysis needs to be conducted to successfully meet the teachers’ needs and design a program that is based on the teachers’ contexts and the complexities of teachers’ teaching practices. The article reports on the results of the need analysis conducted via survey and focus group discussions to 1544 teachers across Indonesia with the aim to design an online teacher professional development delivered via a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). The results of the need analysis show that the MOOC needs to be designed carefully in terms of the technical requirements, content, and delivery of the MOOC.

Abstract

This study examines participants’ expectations, perception of the learning experience, and factors contributing to satisfaction with the MOOC of a technology-focused TPD program, a professional development initiative focused on enhancing English teachers’ technology integration skills. It was participated by 200 EFL teachers in Indonesia. They were engaged in the program components such as MOOC modules, Classroom Ideas, and Community of Practice (CoP). A mixed-methods approach combined pre- and post-MOOC surveys for quantitative data collection and thematic analysis of interview data to gain deeper insights into participants’ responses. The findings indicated high participant expectations, reflecting initial interest and commitment to the program. The participants demonstrated dedication to learning and acquiring new knowledge and skills, highlighting the potential impact on learning outcomes. However, time management and internet connectivity challebges posed barriers to translating learning into practice. The CoP component was also highlighted for improvement to support the learning process better. These findings contributed to teacher professional development by offering insights for program designers and policymakers. Aligning the program with participants’ needs, providing ongoing support, and fostering collaboration could enhance the effectiveness of the MOOC of technology-focused program and promote the professional growth of English language teachers in Indonesia.
