- Abstract
This study is conducted to find out whether professional learning activities influence teachers’ professionalism on their professional development. The data was collected through questionnaire distributed to 50 English teachers in Parepare, South Sulawesi. The questionnaire was adapted from TALIS (2010) which covers items requiring the participants’ professional activities both formal and informal. The result shows that there is a large impact of six professional learning activities (courses, conferences, network participation, research, mentoring, and reading journal), a moderate impact of one professional learning activity, and a small impact of one professional activity. It also depicts the high level of need of four learning activities, namely content and performance in subject field, knowledge and understanding of subject field, knowledge and understanding of instructional practice, ICT skills. There are two learning skills with a moderate level of need (student assessment practice and teaching in multicultural setting) and five learning activities with a low level of need (classroom management, teaching students with special learning needs, students’ discipline and behavior problems, school management an administration and student counseling.
