Abstract
Efficient education is becoming the basis for life learning. Therefore teachers and parents need to look after the children’s knowledge. This knowledge is not an endless learning by heart of enormous amount of data which are quickly forgotten, but a knowledge which needs to be efficient and functional in the future as well. The intention of the presented research in this article was to establish whether students in elementary natural science of nine-grade primary school in Slovenia use electronic and other sources of knowledge, how much they use them and if they use them at all. We find that students do use other sources of knowledge. Nevertheless, next to observing and listening to teacher’s explanation and description, the use of school books and work books in still the most widely used source of knowledge. Learning by electronic sources and searching for information on the internet is, despite the fact that we are living in a computer-information era, still not present enough.
