NB: Data refer to upper secondary teachers. Logit models for: non participation in teachers professional development as a binary outcome variable. NB: B (beta regression coefficient for the logit); b.se (standard error for B); b.wald (Wald’s statistics) b.sig (significance) b.exp (odds ratio). The model for Poland does not include the variable on prevalence of students with a first language different from that of instruction in the school
