Abstract

The study has aimed at detecting the most prominent obstacles of in-service teachers training among teachers of the Jordanian public schools in the governorate of capital, Amman, and the ways to overcome those obstacles.
Data have been collected through a questionnaire that was distributed to schools of the Directorate of Education of the First Amman area; this questionnaire has been distributed on a simple random sample consisting of 350 teachers in these schools. The results have indicated that the overall degree of obstacles of the in-service teachers training has been largely "medium"; most of these obstacles have been "obstacles that are related to planning" and a few of them have been "obstacles that are related to the trainees".
The most important ways to overcome those obstacles is "the use of rewards, incentives and promotions for high achievers and excellent persons in training."
In light of this study, a set of recommendations that it is hoped to be benefited by the involved in the current study, have been formulated.
