This study evaluates the professional commitment of teacher trainers from 2000 to 2023, aiming to understand the changes and trends over this period. Professional commitment among teacher trainers is crucial for ensuring quality education and fostering the development of competent teachers. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from interviews and focus group discussions. The analysis reveals a fluctuating yet generally increasing trend in professional commitment among teacher trainers. Key factors influencing this trend include policy changes, advancements in educational technology, and professional development opportunities. The early 2000s witnessed a moderate level of commitment, largely influenced by limited resources and minimal policy support. However, from 2010 onwards, a noticeable increase in commitment is observed, attributed to enhanced professional development programs and increased emphasis on continuous learning. Furthermore, the study identifies significant challenges faced by teacher trainers, such as inadequate remuneration, work-life balance issues, and evolving educational demands. Despite these challenges, the majority of teacher trainers exhibit a high level of dedication to their profession, driven by intrinsic motivation and a sense of responsibility towards shaping future educators. The findings underscore the importance of sustained support and investment in professional development for teacher trainers. Recommendations include the implementation of robust support systems, competitive compensation packages, and ongoing professional development initiatives to maintain and enhance professional commitment. Overall, this evaluation provides valuable insights into the professional commitment of teacher trainers over the past two decades, highlighting areas of progress and those requiring further attention to ensure the continued growth and effectiveness of teacher training programs.
