The authors of the paper Primary school and preschool teacher motivation
for horizontal learning: the challenges and perspective of professional learning
communities development, Isidora Korać, Jelena Đermanov and Danijela Šćepanović reflect on a number of issues related to the motivation of primary
school and preschool teachers to participate in the process of horizontal learning,
stressing the importance of the role of these actors in such process. As one of
the main questions the authors discuss is the understanding of horizontal learning
as phenomenon by practitioners, while emphasizing that the core of the process
of horizontal learning constitutes a dialogue, as a basis for group context building,
knowledge gain and relations between participants, (self) reflection, mutual
examining of theoretical perspectives, as well as practices based on selected
theoretical approaches. Relying on the research findings and combined analysis,
the authors conclude that the ...motivation and participation of primary school and
preschool teachers in horizontal learning depends on: recognition of learning
benefits by participants; belief that what is being learned will be relevant to their
professional work; developing the necessary competencies and empowering
participants to take an active role in the learning process; a supportive school
principal; and a sense that learning and professional development are highly
valued both in the institution and society. Discussing various possibilities of
intensifying horizontal learning, the authors point out the need to build a discourse
of a professional learning community in which employees have a sense of
connection and belonging and where there are common agreed values, visions,
and development goals.
