Abstract

This study aims to enhance the pedagogical competence of English teachers through in-service training conducted in Pinrang Regency. Pedagogical competence is a crucial aspect of the teaching profession, as it reflects a teacher's ability to manage the learning process effectively and in accordance with student characteristics. In-service training is considered an appropriate strategy to improve this competence, especially in facing the challenges of 21st century education. This research employed a mixed-method approach with a convergent parallel design. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-training questionnaires to measure changes in teachers' pedagogical competence, while qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with selected teacher participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, whereas the qualitative data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The quantitative findings revealed a significant improvement in teachers' pedagogical competence after attending the training. Aspects such as understanding student characteristics, mastery of teaching materials, instructional strategies, and assessment of learning outcomes showed notable progress. Meanwhile, the qualitative findings indicated that the teachers felt more confident, better equipped to teach, and more aware of relevant instructional approaches that suit their students' needs. Furthermore, teachers expressed that the in-service training was relevant to their classroom conditions and provided opportunities to share experiences and best practices with their peers. The training not only enhanced their theoretical knowledge but also equipped them with practical skills that could be directly applied in the classroom. As a result, the training was perceived as a positive step toward continuous professional development. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in-service training plays a vital role in improving English teachers’ pedagogical competence. Therefore, it is recommended that such training programs be continuously developed and institutionalized by educational authorities, involving teachers in the planning and evaluation processes. With well-designed and structured training, the quality of teaching and learning in schools is expected to improve significantly.
