Due to more frequent use of digital media (DM) in learning and teaching within this thesis, the use of DM on different educational levels was studied in terms of personality, gender, use of learning strategies, GPA and school satisfaction. In the empirical part of the thesis, 412 students of the 6th an 8th grade of elementary and 2nd grade of high school from different regions of the Republic of Croatia were examined. The results of the research have shown that the younger students are more receptive and open. Comfort and conscientiousness decreases with higher educational levels. Average GPA and school satisfaction diminish when moving to a higher educational level. Increase in age also increases use of DM for learning at home. Easier learning with DM is higher for boys/young men and students with poorer GPA. Cycle (meta)cognitive learning control and deep cognitive information processing strategy is reduced with age. Deep cognitive processing strategies are more used by girls and students with higher GPA. The results of multivariate analysis show that students who are more satisfied with the school, more comfortable, who use more deep cognitive processing strategies are also using more DM in teaching. The male gender and students who are more satisfied with the school are learning easier with DM. Students who use the deep cognitive processing strategies and surface cognitive processing strategies more often use DM for learning at home.
