Croatian language teaching can benefit from incorporating new ICT tools in structured methodological acts, especially the methodological procedures that are assumed, within an optimal timeframe and with the use of suitable content, to facilitate student learning and competence acquisition more efficiently in comparison to usual media (Kolar Billege, 2020). The goal of this research was to determine if the teachers’ perceptions of the effectivenessrole of digitaltextbooks have an impact on their employment in teaching the Croatian language in primary education. This research involved 301 primary school teachers from all counties of the Republic of Croatia. This original survey questionnaire was created using the Microsoft Forms tool and distributed to the teachers through social networks. The research goal was achieved, and the analysis confirmed that the employment frequency of Croatian language digital textbooks in primary education increases as their effectiveness is perceived. Alongside the effectiveness of Croatian language digital textbooks, future research should examine the advantages and disadvantages of their usagetechnologies in the teaching processasbywell asexamining themethodologicalattitudesarrangementand opinions of teachers in natural and social sciences regarding the use of digital technology in teaching. Additionally, the research assesses teachers' self-perceived digital literacy and competencies. A descriptive research method was employed, and data were collected through a survey of 105 subject teachers from primary schools in the Novi Pazar region. The survey included questions about the frequency of digital technology use, types of media used in the teaching process, learning outcomes through digital technology application, teachers' competencies in information literacy, and the level of interaction in classes where digital technologies are present. The results indicate widespread use of digital technologies in the teaching process, with a significant number of teachers opting for its implementation to enrich the teaching process and enhance students' knowledge. Teachers of natural sciences perceive their level of digital literacy to be higher compared to teachers of social sciences. Further research is needed to identify specific subject areas where the application of digital technologies can most effectively contribute to the improvement of thecontentteachingthat reaches students through digital textbooks. process. |
