Background/Purpose: Making decisions is a process within which we choose among different possibilities and is one of human activities that marks us most. Making decisions represents the essence of direction and leadership in everyday life. This can be noticed on all levels from an individual across business systems and the state to the global society. Despite this fact we cannot find very much written about the process of making decisions in our school curricula. Perhaps the problem is to offer elements appropriate from the content and pedagogical point of view. The knowledge technologies offer the concrete solutions and support to help making better decisions. Making complex decisions is a hard process. At Dušan Munih Primary School Most na Soči we decided to try with teaching of skills how to make decisions. First we made a model for teaching such skills at a primary school. Then we worked out a teaching plan and a suggestion for the programme of lessons and prepared the material to be used in the classroom. After we had checked the suitability of its introduction, we measured the efficiency of our work with a questionnaire.
Background/Purpose: Teaching and learning with computers (ICT) encompasses her help in educational process everywhere there where is this perhaps and reasonable. Using ICT as educated accessory mean search of optimal elements for teaching efficiency and for better achieving teaching objectives. Learning process of science, mathematic and technical subjects in elementary school in many situations demands practically and problem solved work. In article we will show some didactic manners of preparing interactive web-oriented educated materials – papers (based on simulations – java applets).
Background/Purpose: The information technology revolutionary changes our everyday life. There is nothing as it was once and also education is changing and should change. Actual question, we are discussing about in this article, is what knowledge and skills are essential and should be developed during education in youth to qualify pupils for active cooperation and having the authority to decide in the coming world future society.
Background/Purpose: Extreme programming (XP) is a new style of software development focusing on excellent applications of programming tecniques, clear communication, and team work, which gives unimaginable results. A major practice of Extreme programming is Pair Programming. There are two programmers working side by side at the same computer, collaborating on the same analysis, the same design, implementation and test. Proponents of pair programming argue that programs produced by pairs are of higher quality, with less errors, better design than those produced by one programmer. And they are made in the shortest time possible as well. We think that pair programming model has also been found to be beneficial for students. Initial quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate that the use of pair programming in the computer science classroom enhances student learning and satisfaction. We explore the nature of pair programming, then examine the ways such a practise may enhance teaching and learning in computer science education.
Background/Purpose: Planning of education as a separate activity was relatively lately introduced on universal area of economic and social planning. The need for planning education has increased heavily with a need for regulation of explosion of population in late forties in last century. It has been reinforced with a growth of consciousness of value of economical value of education. Nowadays the connection between planning of education and economical development is getting more and more attention, which leads to increasing need for planning of development. Different strategies with fixed aims were developed. Optimal educational structures of a »state« or national macroeconomic for future technological development can not be predict even today. Reason for that are different: technological, economical in social. Therefore so-called hauristical approach or model of human resource planning has been developed (Rus, 1979: 247, Černetič, 1999: 86). Four presumptions are established in this model: social goals, relative social circumstances, human resource potential and needs. Quantitative and qualitative study of relationship between those variables of heuretical approach is a dynamic approach. In this text the following questions will be address: of methods and scenarios of educational planning, assumptions and predictions of planning of education, research and normative prediction of educational planning, areas and dilemmas of planning of education and goals of organizations and management of changes. All this questions are deeply connected with inclusion of Slovenia in EU and with all the processes that are going on in EU. Above all this is a deductive approach to two important social documents: National program of development of higher education and National program of development of research activity.

Background/Purpose: This paper is about one of the essential matters in electronic learning: taking electronic exams. It presents students’ opinion about electronic examinations before and after electronic testing. The studies in the years 2004 and 2005 confirmed that the majority of participants were prepared to take electronic exams. They were enthusiastic about the immediate feedback and time and place flexibility. However they had some reservations about the technological issues. Motivated by the positive students’ response we performed a pilot e-testing. After the testing we checked the students’ opinion again. The majority was enthusiastic and even more certain in introducing e-exams. Some of them think that this kind of taking exams is possible but they still do not see any advantages in it.

Background/Purpose: A model for the quality assessment system of electronic learning material is being developed by the group of experts at the National Education Institute of the Republic of Slovenia. The presented model is an important contribution to the improvement of the modern learning and educational processes. The standardization concepts and the specifics of the learning material are considered in the scope of the quality assessment procedure. The presented model defines the electronic learning material classification, its description and the criteria for its assessment. The steps for collection of e-learning material linked with the phases of assessment procedure are proposed in the paper. In order to round up the topic the presented model is tied to the national strategy of e-learning which is currently going trough the phase of public hearing.

Background/Purpose: Experiment in the school has strong visual effect on the children, therefore it should not be use as a motivational factor in the classroom but it should also support the understanding of the chemical processes. The goal of the research is to check capability of acknowledement and understanding of changes, which were obsereved by the pupils on the three different multimedia footage of the chemical experiments; main goal is to determine the added value of added visual elements (names and formulas of reagents, equation of the chemical reaction) in multimedia footage of the chemical experiments and school success of the pupil on the capability of perception and the proper understanding of it.
Background/Purpose: It is stressed in the Strategy of the development of the Republic Slovenia that there should be a more efficient consistency to pose among the market efficiency and a social responsibility of a modern state. It is to underline the development of information communication technology, ICT, and its meaning for economy which enables Slovenia to use potentials efficiently. Among basic there is to stress high investments in education and training to use ICT: ICT enables good quality of education and skills, but also it enables to activate all potentials that without ICT use would never be used. It is important that ICT also promotes adaptability to be competitive in globalization processes; it is also very supportative to access of life-long-learning. All exposed is of very specific meaning: it brings to values as employment, social inclusion, cohesion and social cohesion. That is why it is very important a quality of e-education and training, how to use e-skills way to bring to competitiveness all subjects and on all levels. Efforts to improve e-literacy are great and they are on all levels – EU, the level of state, sectors, projects and individuals. There are efforts to get resources to promote e-learning and e-skills as we are within the processes of Lisbon strategy and at the very beginning of the next financing perspective 2007-2013.

Background/Purpose: The new information-communication technologies are nowadays ingrained in all domains of education system. The new technologies are not only influencing the intellectual activities of the university and other schools on primary and secondary educational level (learning, teaching and research), but are also changing how the educational organisation is organised, financed and governed. The basic purpose of this research is to assess the perspective of e-education implementation in the system of pedagogical training and expert advanced study courses as a form of life-long learning of school teachers. We have to admit that electronic media and internet became a significant tool used also for educational purposes, especially for delivery of study materials and communication between tutor and learner. The results of this research show that the most important advantage of e-learning as emphasised by survey participants is the flexibility of place and time of study. The research also indicates that the basic objective (computer equipment, internet access, frequency of internet usage) and subjective (purpose of internet usage, willingness for making use of e-learning) conditions for e-learning implementation in Slovenian schools are satisfied. To conclude, the teachers are mostly aware of the advantages of distance life-long learning and would like to participate in such modern modes of education. We have to notice that pure distance education is extreme that rarely exists, so what we have meant here is the effective combination of traditional (classroom-based) and distance based education.
Background/Purpose: Currently ICT offers teacher many opportunities to improve processes of learning and teaching (of music). The results of research indicate that the successful integration of technology depends on teacher’s competencies, on educational standards of music and technology, and on designed strategies of modeling, implementing and following. We designed a flexible software application for music teaching that permits use of some means of contemporary learning, such as: (1) differencing particularly based on individualization; (2) design of self learning strategy; (3) problem based and constructivist learning; (4) possibility of achieving of higher cognitive and co-notational goals; (5) possibility of learners to participate in virtual community. The architecture we used was a standard server based architecture, where the server has a triple role: (1) provides the necessary software; (2) storing settings and learners’ portfolio; and (3) provides a medium for the exchange of messages between the learners forming a virtual society.
Background/Purpose: The Bologna renewal of Slovenian university education does not follow the guidelines set by the EU. Universities are increasingly losing their independent status undermined by the dictation of politics (reduction of teachers’ copyrights, gradual limiting of inscription to social studies). Duration of study seems to be more important criterion than its quality. There is no competition among teachers, and students seem to be far more interested in their social rights than in raising the quality of study process. At this moment, Slovenian university education is stuck in the cul-de-sac whereas graduation from a secondary school has lost its selective value. The main reason for above mentioned problems could be the absence of creative dialogue (not negotiations) among all partners participating in the university education system.
Background/Purpose: In the last few years several efforts have been made to provide ICT to schools. Now, schools are better equipped with computer hardware, and time has come to introduce new services. New project team has been founded on National Institute of Republic of Slovenia for education with the following tasks: to select services to be introduced to schools, determine cost and proper ways of connecting schools and teachers together to increase the use of ICT in classroom. Some tasks will be accomplished through the pilot project, where three school centers will be equipped with new technologies and guided to use it.

Background/Purpose: In Slovene grammar schools (gimnazija), Science is separated into three subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Correlations between the subjects are weak or even non-existent. All three subjects have only one thing in common: they are mostly academic, and barely connected with everyday phenomena and experiences. A consequence of this approach is that the knowledge of the students is patchy, and they are unable to use gained knowledge to explain the nature around them. In vocational schools the situation is completely different. School subjects are heavy interconnected with practice, but a scientific phenomenon is seen as an appendix to the curriculum. The authors are trying to overcome this situation at their schools with the introduction of computerized experiments into the teaching of Biology and Physics. Experiments are constructed in such a way, that they can be used with practically identical setups at two different types of school, and within two different subjects. The difference is in the context and purpose of the experiments. In such a way, the authors are trying to overcome a gap between school science and the everyday experiences gained at homes or in the workplace.

Background/Purpose: The creative process can help to create software spiral development, where beside the settled development of an idea we have a large concentration of flashes of wit and intuition. E-teaching models that take into consideration given facts of present time are building in a high level of information technology (IT). It can be said that in this area as well the life expectancy of an e-product is getting shorter and needs constant improvements. The e-health process has to be constant, adjusted, growing and set in the newest theoretical happenings and practical realizations. Software spiral development is very dynamical regarding the education in medicine. With the spiral model our work can be structured very clearly through next steps: analysis, specification, design, implementation, testing, integration and maintenance. The software spiral development process was presented on the example of e-materials for the respiratory physiology. The construction of the spiral model makes IT in medicine clearer and more effective. In the final phase the IT grows into the Health Life-Style Portal for general public and into Professional Health Portal for professional and expert public.
