dc.description.abstract | Contemporary social transformations, determined to a large extent by the continuing technological
development, exert their influence on the educational environments of children.
Education, as a challenging process of shaping moral stances and norms, in this day and age
forms a complex system of mutually interweaving elements. Within these environments, one
should not underestimate the institutional impact of the school as an educational background.
To most children, school is the first educational environment where young people come
across methodically systematised technology that surrounds them. In this difficult process of
shaping the student’s knowledge, one must not underestimate the teacher’s master role, both
as the guardian of moral standards and attitudes and as the source of professional knowledge
in the field of the taught subjects. Today, despite the initial intuitive assumptions, the unquestionable
improvement of the technical and computer resources that schools have been provided
with, among others, through the financial support from governmental programmes,
does not seem to significantly contribute to the improvement of educational results. | en |
