Comments
Teachers learn most effectively when the training activities involve actual teaching materials. Additionally, activities that are school-based and integrated into the daily teaching work of teachers prove to be more impactful.
Furthermore, the pedagogy of professional development should be active and require teachers to learn in ways that reflect how they should teach their pupils. Like students, teachers are less likely to change their practice as a result of lower-order learning activities that occur via presentation and the memorization of new knowledge.
Professional development is also more effective if teachers from the same school, department, or grade-level participate collectively.
However, robots have no empathy...for now.
