Computerization at the contemporary Schools in the Czech Republic

Abstract

A great attention is paid to the modernization ofthe materially technical basis at all types and levels of schools not only in the Czech Republic. The exigency of these issues arises from the continual development of the existing science disciplines (that already co-operate with the pedagogy traditionally) but also from the development of the newly emerging branches (cybernetic pedagogy etc.). To prepare all the pupils and students for the wide-ranging use of electronics and computer technology both in the future employment and personal life is one of the basic goals of the contemporary school. The article is focused on selected issues that concern education for processing of information, proper use of information sources in teaching, on questions concerning computation of the education process and on some technical information means, in the first place on use of computers in teaching at all types and levels of schools.
