E-learning lessons – students’ opinions and attitudes

Rad je usmjeren k ispitivanju stavova studenata doktorskog studija Kineziološkog fakulteta u Splitu vezanih uz „učenje putem interneta” te njihovoj usporedbi s klasičnim načinom poučavanja. Povezanost varijabli testirana je Spearmanovim koefi cijentom korelacije i hi-kvadrat testom. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da, premda nema bitnih razlika u stavovima prije i nakon učenja, ispitanici generalno preporučuju „učenje putem interneta”, no ipak ga ne doživljuju jednako efi kasnim kao klasično učenje koje se realizira putem predavanja. Također, dokazano je da su viša razina poznavanja rada na računalu i uspješnost upotrebe internetskih usluga negativno povezane sa stavovima prema „predavanju putem interneta“. Pitanjima otvorenog tipa dobivena su mišljenja ispitanika o prednostima i nedostacima „predavanja putem interneta”. S obzirom na limitirani udio ispitanika u istraživanju, prezentirani zaključci moraju se uzeti s rezervom, te stoga ekstenzivnije istražiti u budućim istraživanjima.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
