The participants indicated that the Mathematics teachers training program was of quality in terms of supportive school environment and professional learning communities in the context theme, training design, training content, facilities, trainer’s competencies, trainees’ characteristics in the input theme, delivery, trainer’s follow-up and feedback in the process theme, and perceived positive outcomes.

One of the educational institutions that provide teacher training programs in this country is the Specialised Institute for Professional Training of Teachers. This study investigates trainees’ perceptions of factors influencing the quality of mathematics teacher training programmes (context, administration, training design, training content, facilities, trainer’s competencies, trainees’ characteristics, delivery, trainer’s follow-up, and feedback, and perceived outcomes). This qualitative case study is guided by the CAIPO (Context, Administration, Input, Processes, and Outcomes) training evaluation model. Mathematics trainee teachers from public schools in the first and second cohorts at the SIPTT were recruited as research subjects. Twelve individual semi-structured interviews were conducted among 433 Mathematics trainee teachers from public schools in the first and second cohorts at the SIPTT who attended the programme. Data were analysed through coding and thematic analysis. The trustworthiness of the findings was enhanced by triangulation, quotes from participants, data recording, and member checking. The participants indicated that the Mathematics teachers training program was of quality in terms of supportive school environment and professional learning communities in the context theme, training design, training content, facilities, trainer’s competencies, trainees’ characteristics in the input theme, delivery, trainer’s follow-up and feedback in the process theme, and perceived positive outcomes.
