- Abstract
This qualitative research study focused on science teachers' perceptions and attitudes towards the integration of digital books in elementary and junior high schools. In order to examine this subject, interviews were conducted with 138 teachers. The results emphasized the positive contribution of digital books to science teaching. The interviewees indicated that integrating this material presented a professional challenge, but listed a large number of advantages: introducing such books encouraged investigation, increased motivation, and improved learning achievements. At the same time, they had reservations and were convinced that there were also disadvantages, as some learners and teachers did not easily become accustomed to integrating digital books into lessons. An important matter raised by the teachers was the contribution made by integrating digital books to classroom climate during the lessons, thus the majority of the teachers indicated that they created a positive, comfortable, supportive, and cooperative atmosphere. They also stated that the learners maintained good relations among themselves and with their teachers and enjoyed and were satisfied with the lessons conducted by means of digital books.
