Sažetak
The use of information and communication technology and the lack of direct contact of students with the teacher characterize completely online learning (hereinafter e-learning) which puts the student at the center of the educational process, providing a dynamic environment and helping them to achieve educational outcomes. In this context, education for a healthy and sustainable life is set which is one of the dominant educational perspectives in the 21st century. This paper presents and analyzes the results of research on the preferences of students of 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade of primary school on a representative sample (N = 162), ie students of the second and third educational cycle for teaching contents within Nature and Biology courses that are related to the topics of human health, and the natural and social environment. During two months all students had completely online classes in Nature and Biology during which they learned topics related to human health, but also topics related to the environment. In general students show a statistically significantly greater interest in human health than in environmental topics. The results of the research showed that girls in 5th and 7th grade show a statistically significantly higher interest in environmental topics compared to boys. In 6th grade, boys have a statistically significantly higher interest in environmental topics, and in 8th grade the influence of gender on preferences has not been identified. The observed differences can be attributed to the teaching content because in the 5th and 7th grade of primary school the dominant topics are the structure of plant and animal organisms and their protection which are highly interesting for girls. The 6th grade is dominated by topics about energy for which boys show a statistically significantly higher interest. Therefore, in connection with students 'preferences for certain topics, it is concluded that there is an influence of students' gender factors, and the latter depends on the teaching content.
