Abstract

The use of Kolb's model enhances the effects of professional development
because the model allows the exchange of concrete experience, reflective
observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation, and provides
the connection between theory and practice. The empirical part of this paper
analyses the results of a survey conducted among teachers from Croatian primary
schools regarding the presence of the four stages of Kolb’s learning model in
structured types of professional education and training. The survey shows
teachers’ dissatisfaction regarding the presence of activities such as reflection on
teaching, linking theory to practice and stimulating research activities in teaching
practice.
