Šiandien tiek Lietuvos, tiek kitų pasaulio šalių švietimo sistemose vyksta nuolatiniai naujų mokymo bei mokymosi būdų ieškojimai. Nuolat sprendžiama problema: kaip padaryti mokymą(si) efektyvesnį. Tai skatina vis naujų mokymo(si) būdų atsiradimą. Mūsų visuomenėje dar galioja įsitikinimas, kad besimokantįjį mokytis turi priversti pedagogas, jo funkcija yra mokyti. Tačiau kitos Europos valstybės, kurios gali didžiuotis aukštais pasiekimais švietime, akcentuoja mokymosi koncepciją. Nuolat mėginama mokymąsi paįvairinti. Siūloma nemažai instrumentų, kurie kartu su tradicinio mokymo būdais padeda pasiekti gerų rezultatų. Minint pagalbines piemones, tikslinga išskirti vieną jų – kompiuterį. Aišku, kad kompiuteris nėra vienitelis instrumentas kalbant apie informacines technologijas. Šių dienų modernioji informacinė visuomenė naudojasi įvairiomis kompiuterizuotomis ryšio priemonėmis, taigi informacija perduodama ne tik kompiuteriais. Turbūt niekas iš mūsų nedrįstu suabejoti, kad priklauso informacinei visuomenei – žinių visuomenei – atvirai, išsilavinusiai ir besimokančiai. Apie informacines technologijas galima kalbėti, kaip savarankiško mokymosi priemonę. Vienareikšminškai teigiama, kad efektyviausias mokymąsis yra tada, kai tikslui pasiekti apjungiami visi galimi metodai, pasitelkiamos įvairios mokymo(si) priemonės. Čia atsiranda sąvoka mišrusis mokymąsis, kurias apjungia tradicinius ir inovatyvius mokymo metodus. Nauji mokymo būdai bei metodai: • Nuotolinis švietimas, nuotolinis...

It is an education system based on the Web that models conventional real-world education by integrating a set of equivalent virtual concepts for tests, homework, classes, classrooms. A VLE help contact between tutors and their students through the communication tools. As the tutor, you can use a VLE to show what you expect of your students.

The subject of our paper is as follows: Special competencies of primary school teachers in integrated teaching conditions. Recently, discussions on integration of pupils with special needs into general education schools have become an important issue. Interviews with teachers demonstrate that teachers are not prepared to accept such pupils in their classes. This issue was discussed by many scholars such as J. Ambrukaitis (2002, 2004, 2005), A. Galkienė (1999, 2003, 2005), B.Valkaitienė (2004), J.Ruškus (2000, 2001, 2002), and others. Most attention was given to the defining of competencies of the teachers who work with pupils having special needs, whereas little attention was given to primary school teachers who provide the first knowledge and the basis for the pupils’ effective interpersonal communication. The problem analysed in our paper is as follows: the special competencies of the primary school teachers who work with heterogeneous forms, which are important for the education of pupils with special needs. In order to analyse the above-mentioned problem, the following goal was set: to define the special competencies which have to be demonstrated by primary school teachers who work in integrated education conditions.

E mokymo aplinkos padeda pasiekti efektyvesnį pažintinės veiklos vystimąsi ir suteikia galimybę kūrybiniam mokinių tobulėjimui. Fizikos pamokose galima naudoti kompiuterį, kuris gali atstoti dalį eksperimentui reikalingos įrangos, laboratorinį praktikumą. Tam reikalingos mokomosios kompiuterinės aplinkos, kurių pagalba demonstruojami bandymai papildo eksperimentinę fizikos kurso dalį, pamoka tampa efektyvesnė, lengviau įsisavinama. Tačiau dauguma mokymo tikslams naudojamų kompiuterinių programų yra užsienio kalba. Natūralu, jog programos yra nesuderintos su ugdymo turiniu, jos yra per sudėtingos mokytojams ir mokiniams. Dėl to reikia sukurti interaktyvią mokymo aplinką pritaikytą fizikos kursui „Lęšiai“ mokyti. Magistrinio darbo metu Atlikta kompiuterinių aplinkų, naudojamų fizikos mokyme, analizė. Jos metu nustatyta, kad kai kurios priemonės yra gana senos, pritaikytos MS - DOS aplinkai. Todėl kartais tai sukelia problemų naudojant šiuolaikiškas OS, nes dėl dalinio nesuderinamumo veikia nestabiliai. Atlikta mokytojų apklausos analizė. Jos metu nustatyta, kad naudojant mokomąsias kompiuterines priemones mokytojai susiduria su problemomis. Pagrindinės jų: nesuderintos su ugdymo programa, sudėtingas valdymas, daugelio vartotojo sąsajos kalba yra užsienio kalba. Atsižvelgiant į naudojamų kompiuterinių mokymo programų privalumus ir trūkumus, apibrėžta siekiama sukurti kompiuterinė mokymo priemonė, jos funkcijos. Atliktas mokomąja kompiuterinę priemonę sudarančių komponenčių...

A computer can be used in physics lessons, which can replace a piece of equipment needed for experiments and laboratories. Thereto teaching computer-based mediums are needed, with there help demonstration of experiments supplement experimental course of physics, lessons become more effective and easier to soak up. However majority of teaching computer-based programmes are in a foreign language. Naturally that programmes do not match the education content, they are too difficult for teachers and students. Therefore it is needed to create an interactive teaching medium fitted for teaching a physics course “Lens”. In master’s work The analysis of teaching mediums used in physics teaching is done. During it was found that some devices are quite old, adjusted to a MS – DOS medium. So sometimes it causes problems using modern OS, because of the partial incompatibility it works unstable. The teacher’s survey analysis was done. It was found that teachers face problems using the computer-based equipment. Basic of them: they do not match the education content, a complicated control and most of them user’s linking language is foreign. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of usable computer-based programmes, a computer-based teaching device and its functions are defined. A projection of a teaching computer-based device components was... [to full text]
