Využití ICT ve výuce - porovnání prvního a druhého stupně základních škol

The bachelor thesis focuses on the usage of information and communication technologies (ICT) in primary and secondary grades, comparing them in subjects such as mathematics, English language and computer science. The primary aim is to compare ICT usage between primary and secondary grades, taking into account students with special educational needs. Additionally, it aims to map and analyze the use of digital devices in the final years of both, including interactive whiteboards, laptops, computers, tablets, mobile phones, etc., with a focus on students with special educational needs who may use ICT beyond regular instructions. A questionnaire survey conducted at four elementary schools in Prague provides data from both pupils and teachers, who expressed their opinions on the type of device used, frequency of usage and sometimes the manner of use. Interactive whiteboards are the most commonly used (across all researched schools) with younger pupils actively engaging with them, while older pupils primarily use them as projection screens. Additionally mobile phones and tablets are frequently integrated into lessons at the primary grade, while computers are used more at the secondary grade. Pupils with special educational needs use mobile devices for translations, simplifying tasks in lessons as well as for games primarily aimed at practice and revision. Supplemented and expanded by structural interviews, the findings suggest that ICT is an integral part of classroom teaching, enriching and motivating pupils.
