THE USE OF THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD IN LESSONS IN THE FIRST AND THE SECOND CYCLE OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Naglo spreminjanje sodobnega sveta, ki mu je temeljno gibalo razvoj znanosti in tehnologije, se močno odraža tudi na vzgojno-izobraževalnem področju, kjer so se v zadnjih dvajsetih letih uveljavile številne novosti v organizaciji dela šol in pouka ter v strategiji poučevanja in utrjevanja učne snovi. Pomemben delež so prispevali tudi mediji, ki so postopno prodirali v naš vzgojno-izobraževalni sistem in dajali vzgojno-izobraževalnemu delu novo podobo. Uvajanje in uporaba medijev v izobraževanju je izpolnila vsaj dvoje pričakovanj: izobraževanje postaja vse dostopnejše, premoščene so fizične ovire oddaljenosti prostora in časa, in mediji omogočajo izboljšanje kakovosti izobraževanja v didaktičnem smislu (Blažič, Ivanuš Grmek, Kramar in Strmčnik, 2003). Interaktivna tabla postaja pogosta tehnologija v naših šolah in je ob pravilni uporabi izjemen motivacijski pripomoček, ki pripomore k sodobnemu, nazornejšemu in učinkovitemu podajanju učne snovi ter uspešnejšemu doseganju učnih ciljev (Bučar, 2010). V diplomskem delu so prikazani rezultati raziskave o uporabi interaktivne table pri pouku v prvem in drugem triletju (v nadaljevanju vzgojno-izobraževalno obdobje) osnovne šole, in sicer pogostost rabe interaktivne table pri pouku in pri posameznih predmetih, usposobljenost učiteljev za delo z interaktivno tablo, prednosti in pomanjkljivosti interaktivne table, znanje o možnostih oz. funkcijah interaktivne table, vpliv uporabe interaktivne table na odnos med učitelji in učenci ter delo učencev z interaktivno tablo.The rapid changing of the world, whichis a consequence of the development of science and technology, can also be seen in the field of education, where many novelties in the organisation of work and lessons, as well as teaching strategies and practicing of learning content have emerged in the past twenty years. The media have also got a very important influence, as they penetrated our education system and have given the education process a new image. The introducing and use of media in education has fulfilled at least two expectations: education is becoming more accessible, the gaps caused by time and space are breached, and the media enables the improvement of education in the didactic sense (Blažič, Ivanuš Grmek, Kramar in Strmčnik, 2003). The interactive whiteboard is becoming a frequent technology in our schools and is a very valuable motivational resource when used in a correct way, that can help with a more modern, clearer and more efficient teaching of content and more successful achieving of teaching goals (Bučar, 2010). This diploma paper presents the results of a research about the use of the interactive whiteboard in lessons in the first and the second cycle of the primary school, whereby it concentrates on the frequency usage of the board in different subjects, teacher’s ability to work with the interactive whiteboard, the advantages and disadvantages of the interactive whiteboard, the knowledge about the possibilities and functions of the interactive whiteboard, the influence of the use of the interactive whiteboard on the relationship among teachers and pupils, and the acceptance of the work with the interactive whiteboard among pupils
