Abstract
In the context of global social changes in the education system, it is important to change the approach to acquiring basic students' competencies, with special emphasis on the development of their natural and digital literacy. Today's students, members of always on line generation, are characterized by the intensive use of the Internet for social interaction as well as for education. Precisely for this reason, it is necessary to implement ICT in teaching practice, and one of the options is e-learning. For the purpose of achieving learning outcomes, according to the cognitive levels of applied teaching and learning, traditional learning and e-learning methods, a research in teaching Nature and Biology in elementary schools, using a sample of eight classes, was conducted. The research results show the same success of the experimental and control groups of students in achieving the outcomes, and e-learning proved to be just as successful as the traditional curriculum, where contemporary teaching strategies were used. Therefore e-learning can also be used in situations such as illness, student's absence for multi-day competitions, life in distinguished environments, in cases where there is no possibility for students to attend regular classes. The research has shown that both control and experimental groups were equally successful / unsuccessfully in solving the tasks of the first, second and third cognitive level. The results can be used by the creators of educational policy, and serve as a guideline for teachers- practitioners at devising their teaching.
