Abstract
This sturdy entitled Teachers’ Experiences on Teacher Training for their
Professional Development attempted to explore the teachers’ experiences of TPD
training in terms of perception and practicality. In order to obtain the viable insight
about their journey as teacher, I adopted the narrative inquiry as the research design.
The study was based on both primary and secondary data. The participants were five
Basic level English teachers of Darchula district who have minimum five years of
teaching experiences to maximum ten years of teaching experience and have
participated in TPD training. The participants were selected using purposing nonrandom
sampling
strategy.
I
collected
data
through
using
semi-structure
interviews
and
informal
conversations.
The
collected
data
were
first
transcribed
then analyzed
thematically.
Furthermore,
the findings
show
that
TPD
training
is demand
based
training
that
is
taken
by only teachers
of
community
schools
for
their
professional
development
for
30
days
to
develop
the
capacity
of
them
to
be
up-dated
with
changed
curriculum.
Additionally,
TPD
training
is an
opportunity
for
the
teachers
because
they
have
learnt
different
teaching
strategies,
teaching
skills,
and
various
techniques
to
increase
the
learning
achievement
of
the learners
by
following
student
centered
and
interactive
methods in
the classroom.
