Abstract
Evolutionary processes in the technical and technological sense, especially those from the domain of information-communication technologies, shape the social development, and thus affect the state of the education system. Today, when every child is “born with a computer and a cell phone,” and while they grow up, they regularly follow and use the latest versions of the machine and program subsystems, and that represents a problem of determining how students experience traditional forms of teaching and what would it mean to them if the schools in the Republic of Croatia adapted to the teaching that corresponds to the new millennium.
The aim of this research is to determine the attitude of students towards traditional and contemporary teaching methods, and to consider the possibility of improving the teaching process in elementary schools of the Republic of Croatia. The survey was conducted on the sample of 498 students of the 7th and 8th grade of elementary schools of Osijek-Baranja County. The results of the research have shown that students are inclined to combine traditional and contemporary teaching. The results obtained from the survey point to the need for change, and the need to modernize teaching in elementary schools, but also the need for a good combination of traditional and contemporary teaching methods.
