COMPARISON OF APPLCATION OF ICT IN EDUCATION IN SLOVENIA AND SERBIA

Komunikacija s pomočjo IKT dandanes velja za eno najpomembnejših področij izobraževalnega procesa. To se kaže tudi znotraj reform študijskih bolonjskih programov po vsej Evropi, znotraj katerih narekujejo in dvigujejo pomen IKT in obvezne mobilnosti učiteljev in študentov. Sodobna informacijska tehnologija že zelo intenzivno prodira v osnovne in srednje šole, zaradi česar je učitelje prestregla dokaj nepripravljene, kar se kaže v nepripravljenosti učiteljev glede uporabe IKT. IKT je postala hrbtenica izobraževalne infrastrukture, vendar žal področje uporabe IKT v izobraževanju danes še zdaleč ni tako raziskano, kot bi v današnjem času lahko bilo, prav tako pa se IKT, kot ključnemu dejavniku v izobraževalnem procesu, še vedno daje premalo poudarka. Tako nas je v magistrski nalogi zanimalo, kako poteka razvoj in uporaba IKT pri nas, predvsem med študenti, ki se izobražujejo za pedagoške pokliceravno oni so ključni dejavnik za čim večjo uporabo IKT. Da bi imeli jasno in realno sliko uporabe le-te med študenti in profesorji na univerzah, smo raziskavo opravili še na fakulteti v Srbiji, ki je prav tako začela proces informatizacije v bivši Jugoslaviji v sedemdesetih letih. Naš namen je bil skozi zgodovinski pregled dogodkov v Jugoslaviji in kasneje po osamosvojitvi prikazati razliko med obema državama, ki sta torej začeli z informatizacijo hkrati, vendar pa sta njuni poti po osamosvojitvi postali raznoliki. Tako smo z zgodovinskim pregledom, sodobno raziskavo o primerjavi študijskih programov in mnenjem študentov prikazali primerjavo, ki kaže potencial za sodelovanje in mobilnost. Današnji študenti so digitalno domači v obeh državah in v magistrski nalogi smo razlike pokazali ravno preko njihovih pogledov in mnenj. Naša raziskava je temeljila na študentih izobraževalnih študijskih programov na treh univerzah v Sloveniji in ene v Srbiji.Communication together with ECT today presents one of the most important fields of the educational process. That is obvious by inner reforms of bologna study programs all over Europe, within which the meaning of ECT and obligatory mobility of teachers and students are being raised. Contemporary informational technology is penetrating intensively into primary and secondary schools, and its consequence is the unpreparedness of teachers in using the ECT. ECT has become the backbone of educational infrastructure, but sadly the field of ECT today is not nearly as researched as it could have been, also, ECT as a key element in the educational process is still not given enough emphasis. In this thesis we were interested in the development and usage of ECT especially among students studying for pedagogical professions, for they are crucial to a greater usage of ECT. To gain a clear image of that among students and professor at universities we have also conducted a research at a faculty in Serbia, which has also started the process of informatization in the former Yugoslavia in the seventies. Our purpose was to show a difference between the two countries that have started informatization at the same time through a historical overview of events in Yugoslavia later, after the independence, where their paths have gone in different ways. We were able to present a comparison showing potential for cooperation and mobility with a historical overview, contemporary research on comparing study programs, and the opinion of students. Today`s students are digitally-wise in both countries and in this thesis we have shown differences via their views and opinions. Our research was based on students of educational study programs at three universities in Slovenia and one in Serbia
