Abstract
Research of student attitudes and their perception
of E-learning was conducted on 482 students who study on the University
of Zagreb. Aims of the research were to investigate the habits of
students concerning their computer skills and the use of Internet,
to identify their attitudes towards E-learning, to determine their
perception of E-learning and traditional classroom teaching and
to determine whether there is correlation between external locus
of control and attitudes towards E-learning, as well as between
external locus of control and perception of E-learning and traditional
classroom teaching.
Most of the students would accept the
opportunity to use E-learning in their education and only few of
them already have certain experience with it. When it comes to attitudes,
students have slightly negative attitude towards E-learning. As
it was expected, the differences in attitudes are the result of
different computer skills levels and different habits concerning
the use of Internet. Also, it was shown that student perception
of traditional classroom lectures is more positive than the perception
of E-learning.
