Sažetak
Practitioner research is increasingly gaining attraction because of its research and educational potential. Teachers, who are usually not educated or paid to conduct practitioner research, are the ones to be actively involved in this process so their attitudes are crucial. This paper aimed to study Croatian teachers’ attitudes towards participating in lifelong learning programs and practitioner research. We conducted a regional survey completed by 372 primary and secondary school teachers whose answers were statistically analyzed. The survey results show that the teachers participate in lifelong learning programs because they believe each teacher should engage in such activities. Even though they are familiar with research procedures and occasionally read scientific/professional literature, the teachers do not feel that they are very research literate. Consequently, they rarely conduct or apply other researchers’ results in their classes but are willing to acquire knowledge and skills to do so.
