The Internet and Teaching Strategies

Summary - Experts compare the revolutionary of the Internet and of CD to the appearance of books and the printing press. The appearance of hypermedia educational technology can and must expected to influence the changes in educational strategies and in the internal organization of the teaching process and school. At the end of the second millennium AD the following question has to be posed: Can the system established by Komensky satisfy the needs of students and teachers at the end of the twentieth and at the threshold of the twenty-first century? In the last decades of the twentieth century “new” teaching aims have been pointed out alongside with the curricculum: training students for individual learning, educating students for change, enabling them to search and select information, developing enterprising spirit, nurturing and encouraging creativity, training students to observe and solve problems etc. These aims cannot be successfully realized with a teacher-oriented teaching process. In the age of the Internet and of the multimedia environment (CD, video, satellite television) that accompanies in the above-mentioned aims acquire a new meaning and a new place in students lives, placing school experts in numerous dilemmas. The main question to be answered by school experts of our age is: How to organize school events in compulsory education to achieve “new” educational aims and to learn in a multimedia environment without jeopardizing the health and normal and manifold development of young people? The persistent attempts to “squeeze” the Internet, personal computers and multimedia software into forty-five-minute lessons are a quixotic job. In order make good use of the advantages of the subject lesson system. A possible direction of search could be the transfer of the orientation of teaching activities from the classroom to the individual – form the class-lesson system to the individualized didactic model. In such a didactic model the teachers role changes considerably. To achieve such a change in orientation it is necessary to train mentors, not teachers-lecturers.
