Abstract | Development of any nation depends mainly on the standards of its educational institutions and the quality of education. Amidst this dynamic environment, Massive Open Online Courses have emerged as a potent tool for facilitating continuous learning and skill enhancement among professionals across diverse domains. Professional development of teacher educators stands as a cornerstone for fostering effective teaching practices and nurturing the next generation of educators. This research seeks to explore the myriad ways in which MOOCs can be leveraged to enhance the professional development of teacher educators. This democratization of education fosters inclusivity and equity in teacher training initiatives. This paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how digital technologies can be harnessed to empower educators, enhance teaching and learning outcomes, and ultimately, transform the landscape of teacher education. This paper concludes that MOOCs have emerged as an asset in the professional development toolkit for teacher educators. MOOCs provide accessible platforms where educators can engage in self-directed learning, access a wealth of resources, and collaborate with peers worldwide, transcending the limitations of traditional professional development methods. Pedagogical strategies in MOOCs are essential for professional development as they enhance learning experiences and outcomes. The flexibility and accessibility of MOOCs, combined with well-designed pedagogical approaches, empower individuals to advance their careers, and maintain lifelong learning, ultimately contributing to professional growth and competence. |
