Sažetak

Many countries have turned to usage of e-textbooks and other digital materials in education, and Croatian educational community is also currently doing so. In 2013, CARNet will introduce an online platform and mobile application for digital textbooks, service called eduKnjižara and it will be possible to introduce an experimental usage of e-textbooks in several Croatian schools. For this reason, and also because educators choose teaching methods in their daily work, it is necessary to understand the attitudes of teachers toward new technological devices on the market which can be used for educational purposes. The purpose of the research is to come to know about attitudes of secondary school teachers regarding e-readers and their possible usage in mass education. The study, among other things, shows respondents’ familiarity with the concept of e-readers, which sources of information on e-readers do teachers use, if they possess an e-reader and their willingness to use the device in their daily teaching. Research shows the need to strengthen digital literacy for secondary school teachers regarding the use of e-readers in the classroom. It is necessary to provide professional development to educators on the benefits and applications of new devices, e-readers and tablet computers, within specific school subjects
