This paper is about lifelong learning of teachers, who form the last link in the educational system responsible for implementing the policy of lifelong learning. The teaching profession is, among others, characterized by a huge responsibility which includes the responsibility of teachers for their own learning and continuous professional development. The starting idea in the conducted research is to try to identify the learning habits of teachers themselves in the context where lifelong learning has become a generally accepted conception. The main assumption is that there is a connection between certain forms of lifelong learning and teacher motivation, attitudes and job satisfaction for their lifelong learning. The paper presents a survey conducted among Croatian language and literature teachers and class teachers in primary and secondary schools in the county of Zadar. The results show a statistically significant correlation between certain lifelong learning forms of teacher and their intrinsic motivation, positive attitudes about lifelong learning, and job satisfaction.
