In an attempt to determine the attitudes of teachers toward inservice education and the roles teachers play in it, this paper records the personal perspectives of a small group of teachers, reflects these views against the literature, and indicates some possible directions. Conceptual and operational defnitions of inservice education are provided, and teacher opinions on the following topics are presented and reviewed: (1) conceptual program models; (2) incentives and participation; (3) planning and implementation; (4) staffing; (5) evaluation; (6) research; and (7) funding. A bibliography is also included. (DS)
