Sažetak
Professional development is an important aspect of life of every teacher as it represents a life-long learning process of acquiring knowledge and various skills. As teaching methods have been adapted to 21st century learners, teachers also need to professionally develop themselves to be able to teach the new generations of learners. According to Darling-Hammond, Hyler and Gardner (2017), effective teacher professional development can be defined as structured professional learning that changes teacher practices and improves student learning outcomes. This paper aimed to explore the professional development of teachers as they should motivate learners for life-long learning and help them acquire 21st century skills. The research was conducted through surveys and the sample consisted of secondary school teachers at a selected school. The results were analysed by descriptive statistics. This research could bring new insights in the field of didactics as professional development courses could be improved to better suit the needs of teachers and their students. Further research could also implement improved professional teacher development into European school curricula.
