摘要
This paper presents a research on students' attitudes towards the use of Wikipedia in teaching. The sample was comprised of students from the Pedagogical Faculty in Vranje, a higher education institution affiliated with the University of Nis, Serbia. Students were assigned to write articles on Wikipedia as an alternative to writing their standard term papers; this way the Wikipedia content became significantly enriched, positively evaluating the website as a teaching tool in the process. The results confirmed that students preferred creating articles on Wikipedia to writing standard term papers. Those results may contribute significantly to further improvement and modernization of university teaching.
