Applications of Microcomputer-Based Laboratories in Inquiry-Based Science Education.

The main aim of the propounded work is based on the using of computer technology and experimental laboratory systems in science education. In this work there is a study of the role and function of the interactive teaching. We think about features of the school experiment in the thesis. School experiments are divided into simple typology in this work, according to the level of individualization pupil's activities into following types: demonstration activities (teacher based), student laboratory works and student research activities. The role of computer technology in each of the following experiments is to provide tools for measurement, visualization and analysis of experiment. In the case of student research activities IT also comes into the role of guide in experiment and it provides its theoretical and didactic background. Information Technologies are showed in the thesis as a key tool to the didactic transformation in science education
