An investigation of Saudi teachers’ perceptions of participating in a professional development programme: A case study of the Khebrat programme at the University of Leicester

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the views of in-service Saudi teachers who participated in Khebrat programme (KP) regarding their perceptions of the programme’s expectations, benefits and challenges. This study is important because research has not been conducted into this programme previously, and khebrat is the first collaborative initiative that the Ministry of Education in KSA has engaged with via its cooperation with international universities who have hosted the programme.
