Abstract
This research paper speaks about in-service training for teachers at elementary education level with an objective to explore any Changes in Classroom Practices of Elementary Schools as a result of such training. The classroom teaching processes were observed through a Classroom Observation Schedule (researcher’s made) from 90 (ninety) classes of both trained (56 classes) and un-trained (34 classes) teachers working in elementary schools. The analysis was made through simple percentage calculation on the activities of the teachers and critical ratios (CR) were calculated to find the significance of the difference between two percentages obtained from classes of trained (56 classes) and un-trained (34 classes) teachers. The results depict that in-service training has significant positive effects, in favour of trained teachers, on dimensions of classroom practices: teachers’ response and treatment/ pupil-teacher interaction students’ attentiveness; activities during lesson / scope for interaction among pupils; and student evaluation and textbook usage.
