Abstract

Digital technology provides many and varied opportunities for the new generation to acquire knowledge in order to cope with the demands of the modern age. Digital learning objects (DLOs), as educational and free online resources, are a key factor in the redesign of the educational process. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the attitudes of secondary school teachers towards Digital Learning Objects, using as an example the DLOs of the National repository "Photodentro". The questionnaire from the research of Tserolas (2023) was used to collect the data. The analysis of the results confirmed what is mentioned in the introduction about the attitudes of the teachers towards the DLOs.
