The article focuses on teachers’ perception of changes resulting from their participation in
school networks aimed at professional development of teaching professionals.
Networks as an alternative form of professional development bring together the knowledge and
skills of teachers across schools in order to promote shared learning through closer cooperation
between schools.
A total of 643 teachers from 119 Lithuanian schools of general education participating in the
nationwide project “Networks of Learning Schools” responded to a qualitative online survey.
For the purpose of the research presented in this article a secondary analysis was performed
using self-collected datasets from the primary research. Three datasets of qualitative data were
combined for the purposes of amplified analysis.
The following conclusions can be drawn from the study. Teachers perceive their participation
in professional networks as resulting in: 1) more active involvement in sharing professional
knowledge both in networks inside the schools and in networks between the schools; 2) changes
in learning culture, planning of teaching, achievement evaluation, collaboration between school
community members, problem solving in school settings and educational research activities in
school; 3) changes in student learning motivation and achievements, improved student skills in
communication, problem solving, self-evaluation and learning to learn.
