This research explores the impact of training and professional development programs on teacher professionalism in the unique educational landscape of West Java, Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing surveys to gather data from a diverse sample of teachers. The study assessed participation in programs, self-assessed teacher professionalism, and perceived program impact. Key findings include a positive relationship between program participation and teachers' commitment to continuous improvement, collaboration, and subject-matter expertise. However, the programs had limited impact on ethical conduct. These findings provide insights into the potential of professional development to enhance teacher professionalism and suggest the need for tailored, impactful, and ethically focused programs to support educators in West Java.References
