Th e paper examines the contribution of learning with the help of digital media to the quality of students' knowledge when getting acquainted with the basics of musical literacy in the teaching of Music Education in lower primary school grades (school year 2013/14, a sample of 78 fourth grade students from Serbia E = 39; C = 39). Th e research results have shown that the students from the experimental group (M = 4.05; SD = .972) achieved better results in musical literacy in the fi nal test by learning with the help of digital media, for this kind of work compared to the students from the control group (M = 3.15, SD = 1.309), who learned in the traditional way: t (78) = -3.438; average diff erence = -0.897; 95% CI: from -1.418 to -0.377; η = 0.134.

The paper examines the use of music technology software in music classes among younger pupils. The sample consists of the fourth grade primary school pupils (E-65, C-64) from Serbia. The experiment was carried out in classes in which pupils' intellectual processes (learning, attention, and memory) were encouraged through the use of music technology software. While the E group achieved better results regarding all examined parameters, a decline was recorded in the C group regarding some parameters. The results of this research also provide a basis for further research which would be aimed at pupils of all age groups. Keywords: music via technology, educational software, pupils' achievement

The paper presents the results of examining the influence of electronic teaching aids and the electronic classroom as an interactive model of organizing teaching on the level and quality of students' achievements (knowledge, skills, competences) in processing teaching contents of the subject Science and Social Studies. The research included 264 fifth-grade primary school students from Bosnia and Herzegovina (132 students in the experimental and control group). Theoretical analysis was used in the research, along with the descriptive and experimental methods with parallel groups. Testing was used as a research technique, and initial and final knowledge tests as measuring instruments. The results show that by using the electronic classroom, the experimental group of students achieved a better level of knowledge of the "Creation and composition of the Earth" unit, as opposed to the control group taught in a traditional classroom. Better results have also been determined with regard to the three levels of education standards derived from Bloom's taxonomy. Since these are statistically significant, we were able to largely reject the main hypothesis of this research.

At their young age pupils learn the contents of natural sciences by combining different methods and forms of work. This study examined the effect of computer-aided learning on the quality of pupils' knowledge about the natural habitats. A total of 168 third grade primary school pupils (9-year-old) from the Republic of Serbia took part in this research (84 pupils comprising the control group and 84 pupils comprising the experimental group). Causal, descriptive and comparative methods were used in this study. Initial test, final test and retest were used as tools for the measurement of the pupils’ knowledge about the habitats. On the basis of the results obtained, it was concluded that the experimental group of pupils, who had used computers in the learning process, obtained better knowledge about habitats, when compared to the control group of pupils who had been taught in the traditional way. The experimental group pupils achieved better results at the levels of application, analysis, synthesis and the evaluation of knowledge. Key words: computer-aided learning; initial learning in natural sciences; habitat; pupils;  third-grade elementary school pupils. --- Učenici već u ranoj dobi uče o sadržajima prirodnih znanosti povezujući različite metode i oblike rada. Ovaj rad prikazuje rezultate istraživanja utjecaja računalno potpomognutog učenja na kvalitetu učeničkog znanja o životnim staništima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 168 učenika trećih razreda osnovnih škola (devetogodišnjaci) iz Republike Srbije (84 učenika činilo je kontrolnu skupinu, a ostalih 84 ispitnu). U analizi su upotrijebljene kauzalna, deskriptivna i komparativna metoda. Inicijalni test, finalni test i ponovljeno testiranje upotrijebljeni su kao sredstva mjerenja znanja o životnim staništima. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata zaključeno je da je ispitna skupina učenika učeći pomoću računala postigla bolje znanje o životnim staništima, za razliku od kontrolne skupine učenika koja je podučavana tradicionalnim načinom. Učenici u ispitnoj skupini postigli su bolje rezultate na razini primjene, analize, sinteze i evaluacije znanja. Ključne riječi: računalno potpomognuto učenje, početno učenje u prirodnim znanostima, životno stanište, učenici, učenici trećih razreda osnovnih škola
