In the context of Taiwan's competence-based curriculum reform, technology teachers are expected to enhance their instructional practices through continuous professional development. However, existing training programs may not fully reflect the diverse identities and developmental needs of teachers. This study aimed to explore the participation patterns of middle school technology teachers in professional development activities, using latent class analysis to identify categories based on engagement in three domains: subject-content knowledge, teaching practices, and general pedagogical practices. Survey data were collected from 224 technology teachers. The analysis revealed three participation types: Foundational Practice-Oriented, Teaching Competency-Oriented, and Balanced Participation-Oriented. These findings highlight the importance of differentiated, need-based professional development programs that support diverse teacher profiles and contribute to improving the overall quality of technology education. |
