The Adoption of MOOCs as a Form of CPD: Moroccan EFL Teachers’ Attitudes

MOOCs have gained undeniable popularity in the educational sphere in recent years, particularly in professional development. It is considered a novel opportunity for instructors to take charge of their Continuous Professional Development journeys. However, its reach remains minimal in the Moroccan EFL context. Hence, the present study sought to investigate the attitudes of a sample of Moroccan EFL teachers concerning the use of MOOCs as a form of CPD. Results revealed positive attitudes due to the customizable learning experiences these courses provide. These findings emphasize the conspicuous role that MOOCs could have in improving an overlooked sector in the Moroccan sphere. As such, the study at hand has the potential to contribute to the perpetual conversation on the adoption of MOOCs in teachers’ CPD, yielding a foundation for future research in the Moroccan educational landscape.
