摘要：Tis study investigated the efect of in-service education and training (INSET) courses on grade 11 EFL teachers’ knowledge base employing Kirkpatrick’s four-level (reaction,learning,behavior,result) evaluation model (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick,2006). To this end,the researchers designed a study at four stages. At the frst stage,a standardized questionnaire,English language teachers’ knowledge base (ELTKB),was administered to thirty 11th grade teachers to examine their views regarding the INSET classes (reaction). Ten ten teachers were interviewed,and their classes were observed to explore to what extent the INSET courses had afected teachers’ perceptions and actual job performance (learning). In the next step,126 students flled in the students’ questionnaire (SQ) regarding their perception of their teachers’ teaching performance in the English classes before and afer their attendance in INSET classes. At the fnal stage,the performance of the 126 students on a language profciency test was measured to study to what extent their teachers’ performance had afected their achievement. Te result of the ELTKB questionnaire,SQ,interviews,and observations revealed the benefcial role of INSET classes in teachers’ reaction,learning,and behavior.
