In this empirical study, we explored the views of 310 pre-primary and primary school teachers on certain aspects of professionalism, professional development and professional identity, according to the international discussion on the topic. Our research data revealed considerable convergences in teachers’ responses. Both groups highlighted the importance of collaboration at school as well as their concern for pupils’ achievements. On the other hand, some divergences were found in their role in the enhancement of students’ moral and social values. In conclusion, it was pointed out that both pre-primary and primary teachers of our sample attributed great importance to substantial aspects of professionalism, professional development and professional identity, and underlined their significant contribution to their work at school.
