| Short-term in-service courses are required by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) to provide professional development for teachers. Most of the courses organized by the MOE have been conducted by the Teacher Professional Development Sector. All government teachers in Malaysia, including secondary music teachers, are required to complete seven days of professional development each year. The focus of the study is to determine whether the courses organized meet the needs of secondary school music teachers. The study investigates the types of short-term in-service courses completed and required by secondary school music teachers in the state of Melaka. Twenty-four music teachers from the state of Melaka were selected and sent a survey. The survey identified the courses completed and the musical, pedagogical, and technical knowledge acquired through the courses. The data were analyzed using SPSS software with descriptive analysis. The findings showed that there were particular trends, as well as many similarities and differences between what the teachers completed and what was actually needed. This study may help planners and organizers of these short-term in-service courses from the Ministry of Education Malaysia, Teacher Professional Development Sector, the State Education Department, District Education Office, and schools to design more relevant and appropriate courses for music teachers in the future |
