E-LEARNING MATERIALS FOR ASTRONOMY CONTAINED IN THE SUBJECT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

V diplomski nalogi z naslovom E-učna gradiva za vsebine iz astronomije pri predmetu naravoslovje in tehnika je prikazan razvoj informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije in uporaba le-te v šoli, cilji njene uporabe ter faze vključevanja v pouk. V nalogi je omenjena tudi spremenjena vloga učitelja ter njegove kompetence. Opredeljena so tudi e-gradiva, njihova vloga v izobraževanju ter kriteriji za vrednotenje. Izbrana e-gradiva s področja astronomije za četrti in peti razred so nato tudi ovrednotena po že prej omenjenih kriterijih. V praktičnem delu so podani rezultati intervjujev z učitelji, ki poučujejo četrti ali peti razred, ter s tistimi, ki poleg poučevanja v četrtem ali petem razredu tudi izobražujejo druge učitelje o uporabi IKT oz. e-gradiv. Rezultati so pokazali, da so učitelji sicer vešči dela z informacijsko-komunikacijsko tehnologijo (IKT), pri svojem delu uporabljajo tudi e-gradiva, a menijo, da je gradiv premalo oz. že obstoječa niso dovolj kvalitetna. Želijo si tudi več izobraževanj glede uporabe IKT. Učiteljice, ki same izobražujejo, so izrazile skrb zaradi prenehanja projekta e-šolstvo ter zaradi negotovosti glede uvedbe novih projektov. Praktični del obsega tudi priprave na vzgojno-izobraževalno delo v četrtem in petem razredu z e-gradivi in brez njih. Podane so tudi analize učnih ur ter končno mnenje.In the diploma paper “E-learning materials for Astronomy lessons in the subject of Science and Technology” is shown the development and use of information-communication technology in schools: goals of its use and stages of including ICT into school classes. A changed role of the teacher and their competence is also mentioned in the diploma. The role of e-materials in education and criteria to evaluate them are defined as well. Chosen e-materials from the field of Astronomy for 4th and 5th grade are evaluated based on the previously mentioned criteria. In the practical part are given the results of interviews with teachers that teach 4th or 5th grade and teachers, that besides teaching in 4th or 5th grade, also educate other teachers on the use of ICT and e-materials. The results show that teachers use e-materials in the classroom and are good at working with ICT, but they say that there is a lack of e-materials to use, and the ones that already exist are not good in quality. They also wish for more education when it comes to ICT, also, female teachers that are attending educational programmes by themselves, have expressed worries and insecurities about ending of the e-schooling projects and introduction of new ones. Practical part also consists of preparations for educational work in 4th and 5th grade with and without e-materials. Class analyses and final opinions are also stated
