Sažetak
Teaching has, as expected, changed over the course of time. Except the content
itself, modernisation of organized education often emphasizes the material which
is used to complement the lesson. The IT equipment is generally highlighted in
that matter, especially during the last curricular reform. However, the competence
of the teacher who will be using that equipment must not be neglected, which
is why his qualifications for work on the highest technological level are being
discussed. That is why a research has been conducted which enquired into the
opinions and views of students about new technological possibilities in their future
profession. The research has been conducted via a questionnaire amongst the fifth
year students of a teaching college. The focus was on the students’ self-assessment
of their competence for using the IT equipment, as well as their opinions and
views about teaching by using the aforementioned equipment at the expense of
the so-called «chalk/chalkboard» method, which dominated the classrooms until
recently. The participants have also proposed how much they intend to use the IT
equipment to reach their didactical goals. For instance, the research has shown that
the participants regard themselves as competent for teaching with the IT equipment
and that they plan to use multimedia content, but also that not many of them
expected to work in a school that will enable them to do so. That could be significant
considering that many of them feel that their performance would be enhanced
with a computer, a projector and an internet connection. The participants expect
their students to be skilled in working with a computer as well since they plan to
assign homework that can only be completed with a computer. In conclusion, the
participants regard themselves as competent for teaching by using the computer.
Although they claim that they had practiced teaching without the IT equipment,
if given a chance, they would like to enrich their classes with multimedia content.
This shows that they are ready for the highest technological level in their profession,
which is accordant with the expectations of the curricular reform.
