The transformation of literature in contemporary times is the result of numerous factors, including technological advancement, changes in social norms, and the numerous ways of how we consume content. This Master's Thesis explores the role of digital media in literature education, with a particular focus on their contribution to preserving traditional literary values and fostering the development of critical thinking and text interpretation. The research was conducted in September 2024, involving a sample of 78 students from the Teacher Education Program in Osijek, during which data was collected on the perception and use of digital tools in the educational process. The results of the research indicate that respondents recognize the significance of digital media in enriching literature education. Among the most favored tools are interactive presentations, quizzes, and games, while e-books and podcasts are less popular. An impressive 83,3 % of respondents confirm that digital tools increase student engagement, highlighting their potential for motivation and active participation in lessons. When it comes to the contribution of digital media to the preservation of literary values, the results are mixed. Only 12,8 % of respondents believe that digital media significantly aid in preserving these values, while 46,2 % think they do not contribute to this goal. These findings emphasize the need for a careful approach in integrating digital tools to ensure that there is no superficial understanding of literary works. Respondents also highlight the importance of combining traditional and digital methods in teaching. As many as 30,8 % rate this combination as very effective, while 57,7 % consider it effective. This data suggests that the majority of respondents recognize the value of a balanced approach, where classical methods are complemented by modern technologies. Through the analysis of the results, the paper concludes that digital media have the potential to enrich literature education, while also pointing to challenges in preserving traditional literary values. The alignment between traditional approaches and digital tools is seen as crucial for achieving optimal educational outcomes. This research provides a foundation for further exploration and development of strategies that will enable the successful integration of digital media into literature education, while ensuring that the educational process is dynamic, relevant, and tailored to the needs of contemporary students.
