Sažetak
The prelearning strategy involves activities aimed at students’ preparation in advance of class. The use of such activities increases the level of preknowledge which enables linking new information with the existing knowledge in a more efficient way and consequently reduces the working memory load during the class. Even though relevant research has indicated the advantages of such activities, it is important to determine their suitability for the implementation into the educational system in Croatia with new empirical findings. The main purpose of the first part of the study is to research the real situation in Croatian schools concerning the frequency of the use of various prelearning activities in teaching practice. The study shall also examine the relations between the frequency of the prelearning activities’ use and demographic characteristics of chemistry teachers. The study foresees descriptive quantitative survey research in which a cross- sectional questionnaire shall be carried out on a sampling frame of 600 chemistry teachers. The second part of the study is based on quasiexperimental research on how the use of novel, online chemistry prelearning materials affects the students’ achievements and knowledge retention. A non-random convenient sample comprises about 600 fourth-grade high-school students (18-19 years old) equally distributed between a treatment and control group. Teaching in the treatment group shall be carried out using online prelearning materials whereas teaching in the control group shall be carried out without using online prelearning materials. Obtained results should enable determining new knowledge on the methodical and didactic justification for the prelearning strategy implementation to improve the processes of learning and teaching chemistry, and consequently, to improve the quality of the entire science teaching.
