500 _aAccurate identification of teachers' continuing professional learning (CPL) needs is paramount to create relevant professional development opportunities. How teachers' CPL needs can best be identified is, however, a question often unaddressed. This study introduces different classes of identification methods: linear-dominance, linear-unfolding, and circular-unfolding. The TALIS 2018 data collected from primary education teachers in Australia, England, Japan, and the Netherlands were used to assess exemplar psychometric models for each methodological class. The circular-unfolding method was found to identify teachers’ CPL needs best. Outcomes are related to prior research and linked to cultural dispositions and educational policy contexts of the studied countries.
