Abstract
Changing expectations about the quality of educalion occur in every society at unexpected rate. In this aspect, professional development programs for teacher educators have always been essentially important where HDP is one. It was the main objective of this study to investigate the impact of HDP on teacher educators' teaching performances at Gondar College of Teachers' Education. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative data using case study method which was designed to answer the research questions raised. The research participants were teacher educalors, HDL, HDTs, Department Heads, the VAD and students. In order to collect data from the participants, questionnaires, interview, FGD, and classroom observation were used employed. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted. The results of the analysis showed that a considerable numberof teacher educalors have positive attitude towards the HDP training and they have been trying to be benefited from the program. However, the components of HDP were not fully practiced yet as expected for a number of reasons. It was then concluded that the prevailing practice of the components of HDP was poor. In addition to this, the trend of using the lecture method frequently and assessing students based on examinations as mere modes of teaching and assessment were emphasized at the college. To overcome this, it was suggested that the actual context of the college and its influence on the teaching - learning process should be given due attention.
