Žmogaus intelektas skirtingai pasireiškia priimant tam tikrus individualius ir grupinius sprendimus, todėl siekiama, jog sukurtos interakyvios mokomosios priemonės skatintų geriau realizuoti individualias psichofizines savybes. Taktinio mąstymo dėka žaidėjas analizuoja, pasirenka strategiją, kurią taikydamas priima geriausią situacijos sprendimą ir konkrečius veiksmus užsibrėžtam tikslui pasiekti. Dirbant pedagoginį darbą pastebėjau pasyvų mokinių požiūrį į kūno kultūrą, į sportą, todėl ryžausi panaudojus mokymo procese šiuolaikines informacines technologijas sukurti bei ištirti visame pasaulyje populiaraus žaidimo - krepšnio derinių mokomąją priemonę. Atlikus egzistuojančių programinių priemonių analizę, tikslas buvo įgyvendintas dviem realizacijom:  Su Testtool sistema buvo sukurta testavimui skirta mokomoji priemonė „TestTool Krepšinio deriniai“.  Adaptavus kitos sporto šakos - rankinio derinių, kūrimo aplinką DrillCad, sukurta priemonė „Basketball Drill Cad“, skirta modeliuoti taktiniams krepšinio deriniams. Kūrimo metu buvo naudojama Adobe Flex programavimo aplinka, php programavimo kalba, MySQL duomenų bazė ir kitos technologijos tinklalapiui sukurti bei derinių vaizdavimo sistemai vystyti. Priemonės platinimui ir grįžtamajam ryšiui gauti sukurta atskira svetainė, kuri gali būti naudojama į virtualią mokymosi aplinką Moodle. Abi sukurtas priemones įvertino 6 ekspertai. „TestTool Krepšinio deriniai“ priemonę ekspertai teigiamai įvertino kaip efektyvią dėl...

Through tactical thinking, a player analyzes, chooses a particular strategy, by which application he makes best decision in a situation and makes concrete actions in order to reach a set goal. When working a pedagogical work, I have noticed a passive schoolchildren‘s attitude towards physical culture and sports, so I have decided to create and examine a tool for learning “Krepšinio deriniai” by using contemporary information technologies in the study process. Having accomplished an analysis of existing programmable tools, the aim was realized into two realizations: • With Testtool system a tool for education “Testtool Krepšinio deriniai” (Testtool basketball drills) was created. • Having adapted a creation environment DrillCad for another sports that is handball combinations, a tool „Basketball Drill Cad“ for designing tactical basketball combinations was created. During the creation, Adobe Flex programming environment, php programming language, MySQL data basis and other technologies were used for the creation of website and development of a system for the representation of combinations. In order to get feedback and for the distribution of tool, a separate website was created, which can be used as a virtual learning... [to full text]

Informacinės technologijos vis labiau įsilieja į mokymo/si procesą, tampa neatsiejama jo dalimi. Vyrauja nuomonė, kad nuo mokymosi apie informacines technologijas turi pereiti prie mokymo su informacinėmis technologijos. Tuo pačiu tradicinio mokymo metodus praplečiant informacinių technologijų mokymo metodais. Tai turi padėti veiksmingiau derinti bei taikyti naujus mokymo metodus. Atlikus anketinę tiksliųjų mokslų (chemijos, fizikos, informatikos, matematikos) mokytojų apklausą išsiaiškinta kokia mokytojų dalis naudoja informacines technologijas moksleivių testavimui, kokios programos naudojamos, kokios funkcijos šioms programoms reikalingos. Išanalizavus gautus duomenis nustatyta kokia programinė įranga dažniausiai naudojama moksleivių testavimui, kokių funkcijų joje pasigendama. Sukurti ir išbandyti priedai praplečiantys virtualios mokymosi aplinkos Moodle funkcijas, reikalingas tiksliųjų mokslų žinių testavimui: modifikuotas Moodle programos kodas įjungiant HTML redaktorių testavimo sistemos klausimų atsakymams, sukurtas filtras cTeX leidžiantis įvedinėti chemines formules ir trimačius molekulių modelius Moodle aplinkoje, sukurtas naujas klausimo tipas leidžiantis tikrinti programavimo žinias paskalio kalba. / Information technologies are becoming ever more an integral part of the learning process. It has become accepted that learning about information technologies should be transformed to learning with information technologies expanding traditional teaching methods with the methods for teaching information technologies. That should help to coordinate and apply new teaching methods more effectively. Having conducted a questionnaire of teachers of exact sciences (chemistry, physics, informatics and mathematics), it has been determined what percentage of teachers use information technologies for student testing, what software is used, and what functionality for the software is needed. After analyzing the survey data the software most often used for testing students and its missing functionality have been determined. The modules extending the virtual learning environment Moodle for testing students in exact sciences have been written and tested: the Moodle program code has been modified by including an HTML editor for the answers to testing system questions; the filter cTeX for entering chemical formulas and three-dimensional molecule models has been written, and a new type of question for testing the Pascal programming language has been created.

Esta tesis contribuye a varios campos del conocimiento. Primero, en ella se estudia el efecto ambiguo que la tecnología de Internet tiene en la estructura de costes de transacción en el caso de las ventas al por menor. En segundo lugar, esta tesis estudia empíricamente que factores determinan la adopción de la tecnología de Internet y la telefonía celular a nivel mundial desde 1980. Se demuestra que las diferencias entre países están determinadas en gran medida por el clima de inversión que afecta los incentivos de adoptar tecnologías basadas en activos específicos. Finalmente de desarrolla y pone a prueba una teoría que relaciona los sistemas electorales y las configuraciones de gobierno con la protección de los derechos de propiedad. Se propone un modelo, que establece una relación negativa entre el número de instituciones de toma de decisión consensual y el grado de protección de los derechos de propiedad. / This research contributes to several fields of knowledge. It studies the ambiguous effects that the Internet has on the transaction costs structure in the case of retailing. Next, it presents an empirical study of the determinants of worldwide Internet and cellular phone penetration levels since 1980. It is shown that cross-country differences in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) are to a considerable extent due to differences in investment climate, which determines the incentives to adopt technologies based on site-specific assets. Finally, this thesis develops and tests a theory regarding the effect that electoral formats and government configurations have on the degree of property rights protection. A formal model is presented, which establishes a negative relationship between the number of institutions of consensual collective decision-making and the degree of property rights protection.

This work had as its objective to evaluate the initial Geography s teacher education on the use of Communication and Information Technologies for the practice of teaching. In the research we had chosen two pioneering institutions in training teachers of Geography in Goiás: the Universidade Federal de Goiás (Goiânia) and Universidade Estadual (Anápolis). The methodology used was the interview with the Teacher educators and questionnaires for teachers in training. The data were analyzed looking for theoretical references which supported this work. Participants were voluntary and signed the Termo Consentimento de Livre Esclarecido, accepted with the project by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Inside the work there are information about the terms technical and technology in order to understand the ownership of these concepts in the practice of teaching and teacher educator of and the teachers in training as well as possible ramifications of these concepts in teaching practice in the classroom in basic education. From the analysis of the results, it is observed that teachers in training are similar to those considered digital natives who easily handle these new technological resources. They seek ways theoretical and methodological for CIT in their future practice of teaching in basic education. The results also indicate that the use of the CITs facilitated the work of teachers and also promote the acceleration of time of the class, over the abusive use of copy. The ways of CITs is heavily dependent on the acceptance of the teacher educator to change their teaching in the classroom, since the undergraduate students and future teachers of basic education already incorporate them in their daily profession. / Este trabalho de pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a formação inicial do professor de Geografia quanto à utilização das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação para a prática da docência. Na realização da pesquisa foram escolhidas duas instituições pioneiras na formação de professores de Geografia em Goiás: Universidade Federal, em Goiânia, e a Universidade Estadual, em Anápolis. Como metodologia foram utilizados a entrevista com os professores formadores e questionários aplicados aos professores em formação. Os dados foram analisados buscando-se as referências teóricas que subsidiaram construção desse trabalho. Os participantes tiveram participação voluntária e assinaram o Termo Consentimento de Livre Esclarecido, aprovado, juntamente com o projeto, pelo Conselho de Ética da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. No interior da dissertação encontram-se informações sobre os termos técnica e tecnologia , a fim de compreender a apropriação desses conceitos na prática da docência do professor formador e dos professores em formação, assim como os eventuais desdobramentos desses conceitos na prática da docência em sala na Educação Básica A partir da análise dos resultados, observa-se que os professores em formação aproximam-se dos considerados nativos digitais que manuseiam com facilidade esses novos recursos tecnológicos. Eles buscam caminhos teórico-metodológicos para TIC na sua futura prática de docência na Educação Básica. Os resultados apontam ainda que os usos das TIC, de um lado, facilitaram o trabalho dos professores, e de outro, também promovem a aceleração do tempo chamado aula, o excesso da cópia pela cópia . Os caminhos das TIC dependem muito da aceitação do professor formador em mudar sua prática pedagógica em sala de aula, uma vez que os alunos da Graduação e futuros professores da educação básica já as incorporam em seus afazeres. / Mestre em Geografia
