Croatian Students’ Perception of e-Learning: Research Based on Factor and Discriminant Analysis

Learning and teaching supported by information and communication technologies is designated by different terms, with e-learning being one of the most frequently used. As a result of strategies defined and measures taken, this modern concept has gradually taken an important place also in Croatian higher education, however, the accomplishments of its implementation cannot be viewed as satisfactory as yet. In order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an e-learning system, one needs to foresee possible problems in its functioning and define adequate activities to overcome those problems, which should then be conducted permanently. A mandatory step in this process is polling users' opinion. Although there have been some attempts, these issues remain underresearched within the Croatian higher education system. The paper presents the results of the research which was intended to at least alleviate the current data insufficiency in this area. In addition, the purpose was to present internationally Croatian experience and student views on certain aspects of e-learning. Different statistical methods were used to analyze the collected data, in particular the factor and discriminant analysis.
