The influence of the computer based laboratory exercises on the development of digital competence

Iskanje odgovora na vprašanje, kako izboljšati učinke izobratevanja je verjetno staro kot poučevanje samo. V današnjem času je temeljno vprašanje, kako poučevati ljudi, da bi delovali na ustrezen način v situacijah, ki so bile neznane v času njihovega izobratevanja. Pozornost izobratevalcev se mora zato iz vsebinskega področja preusmeriti na kompetence. Med temeljnimi prepoznanimi kompetencami je ena od ključnih digitalna kompetenca, ki pa je včasih pomanjkljivo razumljena le kot poznavanje računalnikov v vlogi pisarniškega, informacijskega in multimedijskega orodja. Za polni razvoj te kompetence bi moral uporabnik obvladati še osnove pridobivanja, razvrščanja, analize, ovrednotenja in predstavitve primarnih podatkov. Ob ustrezni vključitvi računalniško podprtega laboratorijskega dela je mogoče pri učencih razvijati manjkajoče komponente digitalne pismenosti.The search for the answer to the question, how to improve the effects of the education, is as old as teaching itself. In the modern time the basic question is how to educate students so that they could appropriately perform in situations that were unknown in their educational period. The attention of the educators has to be rearranged from contents towards competence. One of the basic competences is the digital competence that could be sometimes insufficiently understood only as the knowledge of computers in the role of clerical, informational and multimedia tool. For a complete development of these competences, the user has to be keen in basic acquisition, classification, analysis, assessment and presentation of primary data. When appropriate computer based laboratory exercises are included in the educational process, then the pupils can develop the missing components of digital literacy
