Implementation of 3D Printing Technology into Primary and Secondary School Education: Verified Methodology

Implementation of 3D Printing Technology into Primary and Secondary School Education: Verified Methodology

Author(s): Martin Dosedla,Zdeněk Hodis,Martina Jančová,Jiří Ledvinka,Leni Lvovská,Kamil Malinka,Darina Mísařová,Pavla Pitnerová,Vladimír Schindler,Vojtech Stanek,Libuše Vodová / Language(s): English

Keywords: three-dimensional printing; teaching aids; curriculum; Elementary School; high schools; study and teaching; certified methodologies;

With the development of 3D printing technology in recent years, there has been a significant decrease in the price of printers and thus an increase in the availability of this technology. This technological area opens up new possibilities in a wide range of fields from industry, medicine, construction and architecture to the level of everyday home use. We also see a huge didactic potential in 3D technology, which is currently not being used. The implementation of 3D technologies in teaching at primary and secondary schools enables the creation of completely new types of teaching aids and increases the availability of teaching models for pupils and students. Students can work with teaching models in class and, with methodological supports, they also actively participate in their creation.

Pro-naturally focused teacher and his approach to (environmental) education

Propřírodně zaměřený učitel a jeho přístup k (environmentální) výchově

Author(s): Jana Létalová / Language(s): Czech

Keywords: man and the environment; environmental problems; environmental education and training; teachers; pedagogical research;

The publication aims to cover the key factors which influenced the teacher´s biophile/pro-environmental orientation, and his approach to the education, and subsequently provide his life picture for which the term bioprofile is used. In order to fulfill the goal of the publication a qualitative approach was chosen. The group of respondents consisted of four teachers whose profiles corresponded with the set beforehand criteria. For data collecting and their analysis and interpretation the method of life history in combination with the narrative, phenomenological and hermeneutical approaches was used. The final bioprofile, which is mainly the result of the respondents´spontaneous narration, interlinks three related areas. These were detected within the process of the obtained data analysis and comparison. The submitted monography offers a more complex view of pro-environmentally oriented teacher. Exploring the life history of each respondent, enabled us not only to identify the essential factors which influenced the teacher´s biophile orientation, but also to understand deeper his personality and the way of his pedagogical thinking.

Author(s): Lenka Odehnalová / Language(s): Czech

Keywords: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky; diary; Russian literature;

The Writer’s Diary is a work that has so far failed to receive as much attention as Dostoevsky’s novels in the Czech and Slovak milieus. The presented monograph consists of seven chapters and comments on the Russian writer's late work from four aspects: the genre, theme, motif and reception. Regarding the theme, the Writer’s Diary belongs in the so-called literary diary. The work is examined with view to the period of its creation, the author’s personality and the poetological features. The Writer’s Diary also defines three principal themes (Russia and the West, the image of St. Petersburg, characters of the children and the form of childhood), specific features of literary genres (tales with fantasy elements, essays, letters, memoirs and critical essays) and specific features of the motifs (the natural elements or the so-called random family and dreams). The last chapter is focused on reception of the work in the Czech and Slovak milieus.

Author(s): Tereza Možná,Hana Válková / Language(s): Czech

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neuro-developmental pervasive multifactorial diseases of unknown aetiology that are often associated with a significant impairment of motor skills and a delay in motor development. With the rapidly increasing prevalence of these disorders in the Czech Republic and worldwide, the possibilities of diagnosing the motor skills of children with ASD are an increasingly important priority. The research modified the standard administration and implementation process of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd edition (MABC-2) by designing modifications that utilize fundamental principles of structured learning and the TEACCH program. In particular, these elements: Individualization, Structuralization, Visualization and Motivation, were implicated in the entire process of testing children's motor skills with the MABC-2 Test.
