Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2017, Vol 75, Issue 1
Abstract
Dear readers, I would like to thank for the space for writing a short reflection about one of the problems, which is occurring in education. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are considered a tool, which could help understanding of the curriculum by the pupils and also the attitude toward any school subject will be better, when ICT are used. The probability, that it is true is very high, but it depends on many facts, which are very often neglected. There are still existing teachers, who think, that using of computer and the preparation of power point presentation is sufficient. It can be appropriate at the beginning of ICT application in the schools. Nowadays the situation is different. In the digital world, many software, applications and other things connected with ICT are existing. And this fact can cause the problems on the side of pupils and also on the side of teachers. The persons, who are interested in the learning and teaching process (not teachers) want to use ICT from teachers, but the reason is only administrative “the using of ICT in the classes”. But this situation can be damaging and not effective for the teaching process.
