Abstract

The article analyses the empirical study of in-service training of teachers 3¦ from primary and secondary schools in the County of Zadar. For the purpose of this study we constructed the questionnaire and applied it on the representative sample of 462 teachers to analyze their opinions. It has been found that teachers need in-service training, but different from the existing one. The dominating form of teacher training at the present time is work within professional associations and spontaneous sharing of experiences, which is contrary to the expected. Although the majority of teachers are aware of the obligation for self-directed improvement, only half of them participate in creating their own programmes, without prominent personal initiative. No less than 3/4 thinks that in-service training is somewhat neglected in their schools, which is confirmed by the fact that more than 4/5 of teacher had less than ten hours of training in year 2002/03. The teachers are not satisfied by the financing of in-service training, and they expect a greater contribution from relevant state and public institutions. The results suggest that the existing model of in-service teacher training is not adjusted to the needs, which calls for the changes in that direction.
