The impact of teacher training on educational quality. Literature review

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of teacher training on the quality of education, taking into account the constant transformations in the social, technological, and pedagogical environments that require teachers to constantly renew their knowledge. The main objective was to examine the impact of teacher training on optimizing teaching and learning processes, as well as on generating inclusive and effective educational environments. The approach used was based on a bibliographic review of recent studies on early childhood education, continuous professional growth, and educational policies that affect teacher performance. The findings indicate that an education that blends theory and practice helps teachers reflect on their work, adapt their teaching techniques, and better respond to classroom demands. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that training programs that include monitoring, feedback, and technology modules support the implementation of active, student-centered methodologies. However, obstacles such as inequitable access to training opportunities, a lack of institutional resources, and resistance to change were also identified. It follows that the quality of education is closely related to teacher training and that, to achieve sustainable changes in the education system, institutional commitment and public policies that create a culture of continuous improvement in teaching are necessary.
