Comprehending Computer Based Laboratory Activities by Slovak and Czech Students

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study presents a set of newly designed research-based computer aided laboratory activities for Chemistry and Biology proposed in the last 4 years by the international team consisted of researchers from 5 European countries: Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, Finland and Slovakia (Tortosa et al., 2014; Tortosa et al., 2013) and also a partial outcomes resulting from Czech and Slovak part of the research focusing on four main areas inspected after implementing the proposed laboratory activities. The main questions were: 1) Do students understand the objectives of the activities? 2) Do students need their teacher&apos;s help to understand the activities? 3) Do students feel that working with measuring system can help them learning? 4) Do students recognize the importance of measuring system in such experimenting? The actual study uncovered that most students tend to perceive their level of understanding the activity more overrated then reality. This fact is one of the important fragments being able to help us in refining the activities. Furthermore, the study also showed an interesting indication of place of implementation impact on student&apos;s level of engagement. It seems that students working in university probably felt more competent to figure out the activities then students implementing in the schools. They also reported less need of their teachers help in understanding the activities when working in the university labs. Accordingly, the level of help of computer measuring system in interpreting the results was declared more notably by the students working in university. We are not sure about the reasons of such findings but we can presume that new, not-known and serious environment like university and its laboratory can also influence students in their behaviour and make them more engaged and active for learning.
