Abstract: Nowadays in higher education it is important integration of new information and communication technologies into the learning and teaching process. Fastest development of computer technologies and the Internet as a communication platform has motivated higher education institutions to start to think about integration of e-learning system on teaching and learning process on their university. E-learning is becoming progressively more important in higher education environment. Teacher is one of the most important stockholder for integration of e-learning. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the perception of teachers' attitudes towards e-learning. In this study were analyzed 49 teachers teaching in 2 major faculties in University of Tetovo, in Macedonia. The results show that a significant number of teachers agree about the plan to blend the present teaching method with e-learning, on the other hand, a great number of teachers not agree to replace traditional teaching method with e-learning. The results show that the number that prefer using traditional teaching method is the same with those that not agree. There is no any significant correlation between teacher' attitudes towards various e-learning according to gender and faculty. Results shows that teachers' attitudes have important role towards e-learning in teaching process. These results can be a good example for creation a platform or framework for the implementation of e-learning environment in the teaching and learning process on higher education. In addition, the results of the study can serve as an important factor for the improvement and development of the educational process supported by the use of technology, thus implementing an e-learning system in order to help and facilitate the students in their studies.
