Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of teacher training programs on student achievement, employing a mixed methods that includes Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Through thematic analysis, seven themes were identified, reflecting the lived experiences of teachers and the multifaceted impact of training programs. These themes encompass Pedagogical Innovation, Educational Empowerment, and others, indicating the complex dynamics of effective teaching and learning. EFA further delineated seven dimensions critical to training efficacy such as Emphatic Responsiveness and Adaptive Teaching Mastery. The reliability of the assessment tool was confirmed with a high Cronbach’s alpha value, validating its use in educational research and practice. Conclusively, the study underscores the importance of comprehensive teacher training programs that address both pedagogical skills and broader educational challenges. The findings suggest that such programs significantly contribute to improve student achievement by fostering innovative teaching strategies, enhancing teacher confidence, and promoting an inclusive learning environment. Recommendations cultivating a supportive leadership culture. Teachers are encouraged to pursue continuous professional development and adopt reflective practices. For learners, active engagement and advocacy for inclusive education are suggested. Future researchers should explore the long-term effects of teacher training and the potential of innovative educational technologies.
