Abstract

The study aimed to explore the current status of the professional development of teachers in the Arabic nations and to provide a recommended framework in order to enhance the professional development in the global age. The researcher adopted the descriptive analytic methodology by reviewing the related literature and inducting the findings of the relevant conferences and symposiums held in the Arabic world. The current study concluded that the professional development of the Arabic teachers needs more attention and improvement because of the lack of clear policies and objectives, absence of the responsible authority, weakness in the practical focus, deficiency in the needs identification, and insufficiency in the research efforts and technology application. The researcher provided a future vision regarding the enhancement of the professional development of the teachers in the Arabic countries to face the challenges of Globalization. The vision includes particular strategies to promote the professional development at the national, institutional, and individual levels
