I found the most interesting articles, written by Fred Korthagen. Teacher can't be good in the clasroom before he or she reflect his or her professional identity, values... Ongoing trainings have to match to this issues (their identities...).
see if the attached article may be of some help. I'm currently working on active learning methods applied to teacher training. Some articles are on the way.
Best,

Have you tried to add to your search on "primary education" some of these keywords: professional development; continuous professional development; professional learning?
Here are some references (conceptual and empirical) you may find useful:

NOTE: I also do national training on the new science of teaching and learning -- the interaction between education, neuroscience and psychology. I am attaching one of my presentations for your information -- hopefully, you will find it helpful
