Sažetak
The research aimed to gain an insight into the habits of using different additional sources of knowledge/information when learning teaching content from the Science subject. From 28 elementary schools all over Croatia, 930 students participated in the research. Fifth-grade students’ opinions were analysed with regard to gender, size of place of residence, the final grade from the Science and Society subject in the 4th grade of elementary school, and the used teaching methods and strategies in the Science lesson. Through an online survey, students were supposed to choose an additional source of knowledge that they use most often when something is not clear to them when learning the teaching content of the Science subject. When processing the teaching topics, the students learned through collaborative discovery learning, discovery learning or a traditional form of learning. The results showed that the chosen learning method affects the student's choice of learning sources with an inversely proportional relationship and an increase in the use of communication sources (teacher, friends, parents) in relation to individual sources (textbook, notebook, Internet), in accordance with the increase in direct learning, and thus the independence of learning. The textbook is still the main source of information when learning, but collaborative research learning is encouraged along with the use of the Internet and more varied use of other learning sources. The results indicate that it is extremely important when planning to teach to choose a learning method that will enable students of the alpha generation to be dynamic during learning and have the freedom to choose learning strategies and problem solving.
