S. 157-163.The Slovak education system is preparing for curricular changes that will be fully implemented beginning in 2026. Teacher preparation is crucial for the success of the reform, and the search for effective tools to support professional learning is the subject of both fundamental and applied research. This paper analyzes teacher’s self-education (informal learning) as one of the recognized forms and methods of professional development. A research probe has gathered data on Slovak teachers’ opinions on their self-education and presents findings that highlight the need to optimize tools for effective support of their professional learning.en© autorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessučiteliateacherskurikulárna reformacurriculum reformsebavzdelávanieself-educationprofesionálny rastArticle
