This study investigated participation in post-baccalaureate in-service education and professional development among preschool teachers in central Taiwan. The methodology was based on questionnaire survey. The ”Questionnaire on Participation in Post-Baccalaureate In-Service Education and Professional Development” was used. A total of 1012 teachers from kindergartens or day-care centers in Taichung City, Changhua County/City, and Nantou County/City participated in this survey. The collected responses were processed and analyzed using methods including descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA. From research findings, the following conclusions were obtained:1. Most of the preschool teachers in central Taiwan had a high intention to attend post-baccalaureate in-service education(1)The primary incentives for the preschool teachers in central Taiwan to attend post-baccalaureate in-service education were ”increase professional knowledge in education”, ”fulfill personal career plans and goals”, and ”meet the trend of the times”. Among the professional courses of in-service education, ”courses related to counseling preschool children” were most demanded. The main barriers to their participation were ”high instructional and administrative workloads” and ”a fear for heavy schoolwork”.(2)Overall, ”unmarried” teachers showed a higher intention for in-service education than ”married” ones.(3)Teachers who were ”married”, having a ”vocational school” education background, ”not a certified teacher” or teaching in ”day-care centers” perceived more barriers to their participation in-service education than teachers who were ”unmarried”, having a ”college” education background, ”a certified teacher” or teaching in ”kindergartens”.2. Most preschool teachers in central Taiwan had a positive attitude toward and recognition of their overall professional development(1)Teachers who were ”married”, ”senior”, having an ”above graduate school” education background, ”a certified teacher”, ”previously or currently studying in graduate program”, and teaching in ”kindergartens” located in ”Taichung City” and having ”31~60 students” showed better overall professional development.3. There was a significant relationship between participation in post-baccalaureate in-service education and professional development among preschool teachers in central Taiwan(1)The ”overall dimension” of participation in post-baccalaureate in-service education as well as its subdimensions, ”incentive” and ”curriculum needs”, were all significantly related to the ”overall dimension” of professional development and its subdimensions, ”professional knowledge in preschool education” , ”teaching techniques” , and ”professional attitude”.
