Abstract
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is the concept that individual
teachers strive to enhance their professional competence and knowledge
beyond the initial training necessary to do their job. Therefore, the goal of
this research is to investigate the nexus between continuous professional
development (CPD) and teachers’ teaching competence, action research
preparation, mentoring and peer observation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s Gulele
sub city’s public schools. By using mixed research design, the descriptive
survey approach was used. Purposive, availability, and simple random sample
techniques were all utilized in the study. With a total of 340 participants, the
sample size was 220 teachers, 30 department heads, 30 principals, 20 vice
principals, 10 CPD facilitators, 10woreda education office experts, 10 cluster
supervisors, and 10 sub city education office experts. Three research questions
were utilized in this study. Questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis
were used to obtain information. Principals, Vice principals, department heads,
Continuous Professional Development facilitators, cluster supervisors, Woreda
and sub city education office specialists were among those who took part in
the interview. The data collected through closed-ended questionnaires was
then analysed using mean scores, standard deviations, and rank. While the
data collected through interviews and open-ended questions was subjectively
narrated. The findings of this study revealed that Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) moderately improved the teachers’ teaching competence,
action research preparation, mentoring and peer observation activity.
