Sažetak
The aim of the research was to predict tendencies of elementary school teachers (N = 210) towards lifelong learning based on their socio demographic factors, work description and attitudes towards social networks. The results showed that although majority of primary school teachers have profiles on social networks they tend to use them only occasionally. Furthermore the targeted school teachers have positive views on lifelong learning if it is towards improving and updating skills directly connected to their daily job, but not towards gaining the social media skills. The workplace and social media profile possession do not correlate with professional goals and lifelong learning, but the teachers with social networks profiles have slightly more positive attitudes towards social networks. The most important predictors for all of the aspects of lifelong learning are the working goals. The work experience and work benefits are the most important factors for successful implementation of learned skills and setting goals for lifelong learning, while fear of failure is the most prominent factor for indifference and failing in lifelong learning. In general, tendencies for lifelong learning in digital age are not determent with usage of social networks, but with competence and motivation of an individual to do a job properly. The reasons and implications of the results are discussed in details in the article.
