Sažetak
One of the frequently asked questions in present times is whether or not writing in new media has an influence on students’ writing at school and on young persons’ literacy in general. Therefore, the authors of this paper were driven to examine the attitudes of Croatian language teachers towards the influence of new media on the written expression of primary school students with respect to teachers’ age, work experience and the county where they work. The aim of the research was to explore the attitudes of Croatian language teachers regarding the influence of new media on the written expression of students which are related to the written expression of the pupils at school by taking into consideration the structure of the compositions, sentence cohesion, originality, richness of the vocabulary and style, grammatical correctness, orthographical correctness, clarity of the text structure and letter readability. Participants in the study were Croatian language teachers (N = 109) from the Varaždin County, Međimurje County, Krapina-Zagorje County and Zagreb County who teach in primary school from grades 5 to 8. The results of the research show that teachers' attitudes towards the influence of new media on the written expression of students are mostly negative and fairly uniform as well as that there is no difference in the attitudes of teachers towards the influence of new media with respect to teachers’ age, work experience and the county where they work.
