This article, which is derived from broader research, addresses the influence of in-service teacher education on improving teaching and student learning. Although such training should contribute to in-service teachers’ learning in order to improve teaching, scholastic experience, and student learning, such influence is not always linear or evident. The data proceed from an online questionnaire answered by teachers in compulsory education in various autonomous communities of Spain. The results indicate that teachers tend to evaluate more positively the influence on their own learning than on student learning; significant differences exist among autonomous communities, educational levels (elementary/secondary), and gender. The least impact is on attention to underprivileged students.

Keywords : teacher education; professional development; compulsory education; teaching; learning.
