The study included seventh and eighth grade students (N=432) of elementary schools in the City of Zagreb and Split-Dalmatia County. Besides demographic characteristics of students and the level of digital media equipment in schools, the data were collected by the Goal orientation questionnaire (CSRL), the Technology implementation questionnaire (TIQ), and Student perception of classroom quality questionnaire (SPOCQ). It was concluded that, overall, demographic characteristics of students, their goal orientations, the level of digital media equipment in schools and motivation for the use of digital media are significant predictors of student perception of classroom quality, with the highest percentage of variance explained by goal orientations and with emphasis on learning orientation. In this regard, it is evident that for the teaching quality in the digital age, goal orientation, i.e., motivation for learning, is more significant than the use of digital media.
