This study aims at recognising what kinds of media are being used most by the students in order to get the information throughout their daily lives, so that the tutor can have the needed data to improve the use of the media in the pedagogical work. Through this action the teachers can provide the pupils with a better way to use the media in order to improve the learning process and build their knowledge.
