Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of trainee teachers and facilitators regarding the satisfaction about continuous professional development (CPD) teacher training programmes. The study collected data from 248 trainee teachers and facilitators regarding the sixteen indicators of satisfaction felt by them during continuous professional development teachers training programmes. Priority index and rank order methods were used to prioritize the satisfaction felt by trainee teachers and facilitators. The researchers provided a list of satisfiers from which they may enhance their satisfaction level of the participants and they were asked to prioritize these as per their own perspectives. The results revealed that trainee teachers perceived that presentation in CPD was the top prioritized satisfier while facilities for training was the least prioritized satisfier. The study results also found that facilitators of the training programmes perceived that connection of activities with objectives was the top prioritized satisfier while facilities and equipment was the least prioritized satisfier among the fifteen satisfiers. The study recommended that proper facilities may be provided to trainee teachers and facilitators in the training centres. Similarly, a conducive and pleasant environment may be provided to the trainee teachers and students, so that, training may become more effective.
