Povzetek

V letošnjem šolskem letu smo začeli s projektom, v katerem dijaki prvega letnika gimnazije pri vseh urah in predmetih uporabljajo svoje prenosnike. Zaradi dostopnosti informacij in spleta se je način izvajanja pouka spremenil. Profesorji smo iskali načine, s katerimi bi motivirali dijake k aktivnejšemu sodelovanju in samostojnemu učenju. Ugotovili smo, da informacijska tehnologija sicer lahko izboljša motivacijo za učenje, lahko pa je tudi zelo moteča, saj zahteva disciplinirano in odgovorno osebo, ki ne izkoristi prve priložnosti za igranje iger ali uporabo socialnih omrežij. Poleg tega je za uspešno izvajanje pouka s pomočjo IKT potreben izkušen profesor, ki zna nove metode dela ustrezno vključiti v kombiniran način učenja. Pomembno je, da je uporaba računalnika vedno osmišljena. Profesor mora za vsako uro pripraviti vaje ali preverjanje znanja, ki se izvede s pomočjo informacijske tehnologije. Tudi ocenjevanje znanja se mora izvesti s pomočjo IKT, saj je v nasprotnem primeru uporaba prenosnikov pri pouku sama sebi namen.

Ključne besede: prenosnik, ocenjevanje, e-gradiva, kombinirano učenje.

Abstract

At the beginning of this school year, we started the project in which the first year students use laptops for all lessons and subjects at school. Due to the internet access, the methods of teaching have changed. Therefore, the teachers in our school tried to find appropriate ways to motivate their students for more active cooperation and independent learning.
We found out that on one hand IT is very useful for raising the student’s motivation, but on the other hand it can also be highly disturbing. It requires a disciplined and responsible student (personality) who would not give in to temptation to play games or use social network during the lessons. Apart from this, an experienced teacher who knows how to include new teaching methods into blended teaching is crucial for successful usage of ICT. It is also important to use computers reasonably. For each lesson, teachers should prepare exercises or knowledge testing by using the ICT. The assessment must be carried out with the aid of ICT as well. Otherwise, using the laptops for its sake is meaningless and unreasonable.
