Online education is a characteristic element of modern education in all developed countries of the world. The reality of the present time has brought into education such teaching methods that have not been preferred in high school education until now.

In 2023, a new educational reform was adopted in the Slovak Republic, presenting a significant challenge for teachers. We investigated how practicing teachers perceive their readiness to utilize innovative teaching methods in education. The main survey method employed was a questionnaire for practicing teachers. As the curriculum reform affects all teachers in practice, we decided to examine whether there is a difference in the responses between teachers of humanities and natural sciences school subjects. It was demonstrated that practicing teachers have very low awareness in the area of inquiry-based teaching. A difference in responses was found between...

Today, there are countless pitfalls that occur in the online environment, and one of the most abundantly at risk groups are children and adolescents who grow up in the online world. Thus, in recent years, the so-called substance addictions that have been part of the youth of previous decades have been declining considerably, while non-substance addictions, which immediately include addiction to computer games, have been on the rise. For this reason, a research investigation was carried out to determine the frequency of the prevalence of netholism among young people. In this investigation, we were able to show that even in a sample of Czech children...

Vladimír VOCHOZKA, Tomáš SOSNA
Journal of Technology and Information Education 2024, 16(2):141-154
Study explores an innovative approach to physics education that combines the popularity of internet memes with the effectiveness of heuristic teaching methods. Specifically, it focuses on utilizing the "magnet car" meme to address common misconceptions among students regarding fundamental physics principles. Through a series of experiments and active student engagement, the study found that this approach significantly improves students' understanding of physical phenomena. The research was conducted using an action research design involving four cycles, with each cycle increasing the complexity of tasks. Methods such as interviews and pedagogical observations...

Journal of Technology and Information Education 2024, 16(2):155-166
The paper reflects on the topic of teaching in schools. An appropriately chosen teaching method is a tool in the hands of the teacher in educating students. Here the teacher answers the questions: What to teach? How to teach? With the first question, it is clear what the content of teaching is, and it is the second question that directs us to the theory of teaching methods. An important factor in the effective educational process is also the student-teacher relationship. When applying activation methods, the teacher has more opportunities to praise, encourage and support the students' progress. On the contrary, students can show their skills, acquired...

Journal of Technology and Information Education 2024, 16(2):167-180
Technical skills are part of elementary education in most primary schools worldwide, including the Slovak Republic. In Slovakia, the development of these skills begins in pre-primary education and continues in primary schools. Mastery of the technical skills necessary for further education, personal life, and professional life is dependent on the material and technical equipment of schools. In the years 2013-2015, two national projects were implemented in Slovakia, providing equipment to 226 schools for teaching the subject of Technology. This article examines whether these schools utilize the provided equipment for practical education of students....
