Abstract
New teaching strategies include significant use of computers but the effectiveness of those methods based on the use of computers is low if the inclusion of interactive teaching methods and students’ intellectual engagement is ignored. Digital resources are not the ones that affect the learning outcomes but teaching methods that are accompanied by the implementation of various educational technologies. If we just change the media which presents teaching content and thereby keep the same teaching methods as before, the effectiveness of teaching remains the same. Digital resources differ with respect to the potential of creating learning situations. Some digital resources facilitate the implementation of interactive teaching to a greater extent from others. A survey was conducted in Croatia in order to test the effectiveness of one of the strategies involving digital resources. The results indicate that application of appropriate digital resources has a positive effect on learning and acquiring the concepts in physics. The results are an indicator for the research that follows which will examine the teaching method that involves interaction at all stages of teaching process and highlights the use of digital resources as one of the tools for the realization of interactivity and student’s intellectual activity enlargement.
