METHODICAL AND MULTIMEDIA ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF ICT COMPETENCES IN THE FIELD OF LOGO PROGRAMMING OF FUTURE COMPULSORY EDUCATION TEACHERS
Abstract
The purpose of this paper
was to propose and explore the methodical and multimedia environment required
for the acquisition of ICT competences in the field of Logo programming of
future compulsory education teachers. According to the student teachers'
education curriculum, among other ICT competence requirements, the future
teachers are to acquire relevant knowledge and skills in Logo programming. In
order to determine the level of competence acquired, a methodical-qualitative
evaluation of the environment, in the form of a web application, has been
conducted by 50 students of The Faculty of Teacher Education of the University
of Zagreb. Research results show that the environment contributes to the more
effective acquisition of ICT competences of future teachers, especially in the
field of computer programming.
