The Computer as an Educational Medium

Tema ovog završnog rada je „Računalo kao odgojni medij“. Računalo kao najrašireniji medij suvremenog društva, postaje sveprisutan u životima ljudi te se teško može zamisliti današnji svijet bez takvog oblika tehnologije. Kao takvo, računalo se sve više uvodi u predškolske ustanove i škole gdje umjesto zabavne uloge, djeci omogućuje i uvelike olakšava učenje. U radu je opisana uloga računala u životu djece te mogućnosti njegova korištenja u obiteljskom domu i predškolskim ustanovama te njegovi utjecaji na djecu. Uz to navedena je i uloga medija općenito te mogućnost njihove primjenjivosti u odgojno – obrazovnim ustanovama, prvenstveno televizije, računala i računalnih igara.Topic of this paper is "Computer as an educational tool".
