This study explores how professional development (PD) programs for teachers affect the academic performance of primary school students in Selangor. Selangor’s diverse student population and varying teacher readiness levels present unique challenges in education. Although the Malaysian Ministry of Education has introduced various PD initiatives to improve teaching quality, their direct impact on student outcomes is still unclear. Using a qualitative research approach, this study investigates how PD programs influence teaching practices and student learning. The research focuses on primary schools in Selangor and aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of current PD efforts. The main objectives are to assess how PD training impacts student performance and to identify which PD components are most helpful in improving teaching. The study hypothesizes that PD programs lead to better teaching and higher student achievement. The findings will offer useful insights for educators and policymakers to improve future PD programs and support better student outcomes in Malaysia.
