Abstract

This paper is focused on attitudes of postgraduate students of the Faculty of kinesiology in Split towards e-learning, and on their comparison with the traditional inclass learning. The relationship between variables was tested by means of the Spearman’s correlation coeffi cient as well as the chi-square test. Although the results haven’t revealed statistically signifi cant differences in attitudes before and after the lessons, subjects in general tend to recommend e-learning, but do not fi nd it as effi cient as traditional inclass learning in the form of lectures. The results have shown that there was a negative correlation between computer-based knowledge, including experience in searching information on the World Wide Web, and attitudes towards e-learning lessons. Subjects’ opinions about advantages and disadvantages of e-learning lessons were discovered by open-end questions. Since this study encloses a limited sample of subjects, presented fi ndings cannot be generalized and should therefore be extensively studied in future
investigations.
