Abstract

The effect of in-service training on teacher professional development skills at the secondary level in district Narowal was the study's stated goal. The study's scope was restricted to Pakistan's Narowal District's 102 public secondary schools. A basic random sampling method was applied. 383 instructors from 102 male and female schools in both rural and urban areas made up the sample as a whole. The acquired data were expressed and subjected to analysis using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. The conclusion that in-service training is essential for improving instructors' abilities and knowledge so they can give their students a high-quality education. One significant element that may have an effect on teachers' performance and general motivation is how satisfied they are with their in-service training. Secondary school teachers in the Narowal area have been actively engaged in a variety of in-service training programmes to enhance their pedagogical approaches and stay current on subject matter.
