Abstract:

The paper deals with the issue of further education, lifelong learning of professionals in practice. The authors view the process of education as a process of solving various problems, in which it is necessary to constantly overcome various barriers, to be able to cope with them.

The basic objective is specifying and deeply describing the main barriers in education process of teachers, managers and specialists. The secondary objective of the paper is to categorize these barriers in the creative process and in education into basic categories; describe the circumstances and origins of these barriers, their effects, shed light on issues that may not be obvious at first glance in common practice.

The research methodology was based on guided interviews and questionnaire surveys with various specialists, managers from various fields (including security, ICT), with teachers and academics from several universities. Background materials were collected over a period of 5 years and subsequently analysed and barriers were then categorized into basic categories.

The result of several years of study is an overview and specification of basic barriers to 6 basic barriers that fundamentally affect creative work, the educational process, studies. These barriers are then promoted in practice in other areas, such as management, any professional, qualified activities, etc.

The authors divide these barriers into intellectual, socio-cultural, political, environmental, emotional, ability and communication barriers. The first barriers lie at the level of our intellectual abilities, the second are mainly dependent on many years of practical experience and skills, which in some cases may even at first glance contradict common sense, ie intellect. Emotional barriers reflect the perception of the problem within ourselves (and others), and as a rule, emotions often contradict both our intellect and charged experiences. People encounter these barriers not only in everyday work, in solving various problems, non-standard situations, but also in further education and professional development.

Conclusion: The paper deeply describes in the education barriers, their specificity so that it is possible to understand them, identify with them and then overcome them not only in education process. If we can identify and understand the negative barriers to the educational process, we can remove or minimize them and thus streamline the educational process.
