On the selected possibilities of the use of interactive whiteboard in technical education and training

Abstract

The paper describes the possibilities of innovation in teaching students in the field of electricity generation and transmission at faculties of teaching (in technical education and training). The article contains a description of the interactive whiteboard, interactive whiteboard software, and ways to use the interactive whiteboard in the classroom. The authors find out the effectiveness of the teaching of these topics traditionally (using real electro physical models) and the innovative computer simulation model presented by the interactive chart as a support of a real electro-physical model. The individual teaching systems were tested in the student sample. Based on the results of the tests, it was shown that the instruction supported by the interactive chart showed better quantitative and qualitative results in the knowledge tests than in the traditional teaching system.
