Experienced Teachers' Beliefs: The effects of experience and training

The present exploratory and interpretive study adopted a mixed-methods design and sought to explore the beliefs of experienced Greek English foreign language teachers working in Lower and Upper Secondary Schools mainly in Central MacedoniaGreece. The main aim was to identify whether teachers'' beliefs change over time and to what extent these changes are due to their teaching experiences or due to their participation in in-service training. Furthermore the needs experienced teachers have from in-service training were also investigated aiming to highlight areas they would like to be trained in.
