Using information technology is integral living in a modern world. It lets us search for necessary information. School is the place where people obtain this competence. To pursue this objective school uses computer-based teaching programs. “Akis M” is one of the commonly used for teaching geography at school. This interactive program has thematic Lithuanian maps and database of related information. First part of this work is dedicated to examine all available handbooks intended for teaching Lithuanian geography and all available illustrations in them. Referring to Lithuanian geography syllabus and handbooks I developed visual database for teaching program “Akis M” In order to develop this visual database I chose to use landscape of Vilnius region as a basis. Landscape is made of several parts: relief, soil, weather, flora and fauna and human impact. All these parts form our environment. Second part of this work is assigned to analyze existing teaching program “Akis M2” propose new functions and new development. One of which is visual database of Vilnius region landscapes. After scrutinizing landscapes of Vilnius district visualization scheme was created. With reference to this scheme visual data was collected. All of seven landscapes in Vilnius district were visualized. Four of them, covering most of Vilnius region, are visualized with most places. Other three have less visualization places. Using “Arc View” software map of landscapes was created. This map and related... [to full text]

Mokomųjų kompiuterinių programų kūrimas yra labai sudėtingas ir daug žinių reikalaujantis procesas. Jau yra nemažai sukurtų kompiuterinių mokomųjų programų įvairaus profilio dalykams. Jas galima rasti internete, gauti per ALF (Atviros Lietuvos Fondas) ir kt. Tačiau tiek mokiniai, tiek mokytojai dar turi nemažai problemų, norėdami ugdymui pasitelkti kompiuterizuoto mokymo instrumentus. Kaip rodo apklausos, šios priemonės yra pernelyg sudėtingos, dažnai nesiderina su ugdymo programomis, sunku gauti reikalingą informaciją kaip jomis naudotis arba tiesiog negali būti panaudotos, nes parengtos užsienio kalbomis. Be to, dažnai atsiranda tam tikras bendravimo konfliktas, kai dažnas moksleivis informacijos ir komunikacijos technologijas yra geriau įvaldęs negu mokytojas. Įvertinus šias ypatybes ir atlikus esamų produktų ekspertinį tyrimą, darbe buvo numatyta sukurti kompiuterizuoto fizikos mokymo priemonių rinkinį pagal 7-8 klasėms numatytą ugdymo planą. Priemonė parengta dviems fizikos skyriams „Slėgis“ ir „Plūduriavimas ir skrydis“. Kiekvieną temą sudaro: teorija, demonstracinė medžiaga, užduotys, testai. Mokymo priemonė sukurta naudojant specializuotas programinės įrangos technologijas: • Front Page – vartotojo sąsajai palaikyti; • HTML – interaktyvioms užduotis kurti; • HotPotatoes – interaktyvioms užduotims kurti; • PowerPoint – demonstracijoms kurti; • Wink 2000 – demonstracijoms kurti. Kompiuterinę mokymo priemonę 7-8-os klasės mokiniai gali naudoti pamokose ar savarankiškai...

We can find them in internet sites, get from The Open Society Fund - Lithuania (OSFL) and etc. Students or teachers still have problems in use of active teaching programs using IT. The survey showed that those tools are too complicated, even are not adapted to curriculum. Sometimes it is impossible to use them because of lack of information. The reason is that they are prepared in foreign languages. Moreover, misunderstanding in communication appears when student’s knowledge in IT is higher than teacher’s. Taking it into account we made the investigation of those tools and decided to create the set of computer- integrated tools for teaching physics which suits to curriculum for 7-8 classes. Materials are prepared for 2 chapters “Pressure” and “Flotation and flight”. Every theme consist of: theory, demonstrational materials, tasks and tests. Teaching aid is prepared using special software technologies: • Front Page- to keep connection with user; • HTML- to design interactive tasks; • Hot Potatoes- to design interactive tasks; • Power Point- to design demo; • Wink 2000- to design demo. That teaching aid 7-8 grade students can use in the lessons and independently. Short, well sorted theoretical material, tasks for self- control and tests give a big amount of information to students and to teachers either. Also you can find the... [to full text]

Magistro darbe analizuojamas informacinių technologijų taikymas Lietuvos logopedų darbe. Apie IKT ir KMP taikymą Lietuvos logopedų darbe nėra daug žinoma, nėra parengta išsamių mokslinių straipsnių ar apžvalgų, kurie nurodytų, kokiomis informacinių technologijų programomis ar priemonėmis naudojamasi logopedų darbe, kokios iš jų vyrauja ir kurios yra efektyviausios dirbant su kalbos, kalbėjimo ir komunikacijos sutrikimų turinčiais asmenimis. Praktinis tyrimo naudingumas – atskleisti informacinių technologijų taikymo realybę logopedų darbe su kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų turinčiais asmenimis. Palyginti pasiekimus šioje srityje Lietuvoje ir užsienio šalyse. Prieduose pateikiamas internetinių svetainių sąrašas, kur galima rasti logopedinėse pratybose pritaikomų lavinimo užduočių. / Master’s thesis analyzes the informational technologies application in Lithuanian speech and language therapists’ work. The aim of this research - to assess the informational and communication technology (ICTs) and computer-based speech training system (CBST) use at the speech and language therapists work in comprehensive schools who work with persons who have language, speech and communication disorders. The empirical part of the paper deals with the use of ICTs/ CBST at speech and language therapists work, their possibility of usage, the coherence between speech therapists qualification and their age, the usage of the programs for development educable self-dependent tools, speech and language therapists interest in various sources of work-related topics and others. In the questionnaire survey (in electronic form) have participated 258 speech and language therapists who work in comprehensive schools.
