Attitudes of Primary School Teachers Towards the Use of Digital Media in the Classroom
The use of different forms of technology in the educational process can have a positive impact on students, with the aim of creating a more dynamic and efficient educational process. Teachers are expected to continuously improve their digital competencies and organize studentcentered teaching activities through the use of digital technologies in the teaching process. The aim of this paper was to investigate teachers' attitudes towards the use of digital technologies in lesson preparation and direct work with students. The frequency of the use of digital media in the classroom and the selection of digital tools were analyzed, while at the same time the factors that make the use of media in the classroom more difficult were identified. The results show that teachers have a positive attitude towards the use of digital media in the classroom and recognize the importance of using digital tools in all phases of the teaching process. They emphasize the importance of continuous professional development and improvement of digital skills, with particular attention to training in the creation of didactic material using digital media. Teachers believe that sharing teachers' experiences contributes to the development of skills for the use of media technologies in the teaching.
