Analysis of data using qualitative research software NVivo 11 Plus. The results showed (1) the implementation of CPD was not effective because there was no needs assessment and no evaluation, (2) the most widely used methods were education and training, lectures, simulations, discussions, and behavior modeling, (3) the most widely used model is the professional learning group in the form of teacher’s working group called KKG and MGMP, (4) the biggest source of funding is from personal teachers and local governments, and (5) the main constraints are in terms of time, funding, lack of programming, and lack of assistance.
