			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Brief summary of the paper<br />
	</strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>(The presentation can be downloaded <a href="http://zounek.cz/wp-content/uploads/Zounek_ECER-2_August-2010_EN-14_8.pdf">here</a>)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Tertiary education has been undergoing a whole process of change at the level of both structure and content, the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) being among its causes. Management of universities, research management but especially teaching and learning are hardly conceivable without ICT any more. Masaryk University with its Faculty of Arts have relied on ICT in all spheres of their activities for a relatively long time. The idea behind implementing ICT into the faculty life was to create a modern learning environment providing for the use of both traditional teaching and learning tools on the one hand and modern technologies on the other. Several examples: the all-faculty installation of LMS Moodle, the establishment of technical assistance for teachers to draw on, or the support to a variety of e-learning projects within a number of courses and programmes of study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt;">New trends in the use of the internet, collectively referred to as web 2.0, have been becoming increasingly popular. It is through the internet that platforms and applications providing for communication among users, cooperation among them and sharing all kinds of information (such as Wiki or Weblog) are generally available. Another rather significant present trend involves the so-called social networks (Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, LinkedIn or Academia.edu). Students enrolling for university study are thus familiar with what these networks offer and many of them have the skills needed for using them in their study adequately. They are mostly students whose adolescence was marked by the general spread of ICT in society, the internet being an inseparable part of their lives &ndash; the &ldquo;net generation&rdquo;. As research has shown (e.g. Oblinger, Oblinger, 2005), drawing on the various ICT tools, this generation of students seems to be learning in a somewhat different fashion compared with the previous ones (e.g. they prefer learning through visual or audio material or video to learning from text). This raises questions such as whether and how students themselves use university online learning systems or how they take advantage of other ICT tools (such as social networks or expert communities online) when studying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt;">The paper is an output from a research project whose objective is to understand the process of learning among the current generation of students in the Faculty of Arts, MU, focusing on the use of ICT tools. The research has been undertaken in Masaryk University, with support from the Grant Foundation of the Dean of Faculty of Arts. It also focuses on which specific ICT tools and learning sources students use in their study, which of them they prefer and why. Rather than limiting itself to the use of university online systems, the research will strive to uncover the role played by web 2.0 services. It takes up the challenge presented by the results of a previous project called Pedagogical and Methodological Issues of E-learning in Teaching at the Faculty of Arts, MU (grantees J. Zounek, R. &Scaron;vař&iacute;ček), mapping the use of ICT from the point of view of teachers (see ECER 2009).</div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Like the previous project, this one, too, is based on qualitative research methodology and in-depth interviews with selected students of the Faculty of Arts, MU, as the main method of data collection. The population of respondents includes students in different years of study and different study programmes (the population size will be specified in the course of the research). The interviews include observation and think-alouds, with the students demonstrating during the interview which ICT tools and how they use in their study. The interviews are taped, transcribed and analyzed using Atlas.ti software. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Preliminary research results will be presented. The first part of the presentation will focus on students</span>&rsquo; motivation to use or avoid using different technologies. Then the individual ICT tools and internet services used by students will be discussed as well as whether and how students adjust the tools they use to their needs or learning styles and how they create their personal learning environments (Attwell, 2007). In the next part, the paper focuses on the potential limitations of or barriers to the use of ICT in university study (and other negative phenomena). The paper will conclude with relating empirical findings to the results of similar research and relevant theoretical frameworks (such as constructivism or connectivism).</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brief summary of the paper</p>
<p>(Authors: Michal &Scaron;im&aacute;ně, Jiř&iacute; Zounek)</p>
<p>The presentation can be downloaded here &#8211; <a href="http://zounek.cz/wp-content/uploads/ZounekSimane_ECER-2010_web.pdf">presentation Zounek+Simane.</a></p>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">The paper presents outcomes of a research focused on the use of ICT in teaching and organization of work at a vocational secondary school and college (ISCED 3 and 4). The research was conducted at a joint business academy and vocational college in the second largest city of the Czech Republic. The institution provides training in the following fields: IT Economics, Foreign Trade, and Foreign Trade And Financial Management (ISCED 3), and in the fields Foreign Trade, and Economics And Law (ISCED 4). Thus, the students are being trained for performance of trading, business and administrative skills in companies of different legal forms and in other organizations (ISCED 3). The qualification can also lead to jobs in middle and higher management and in corresponding positions (ISCED 4). In the course of the training, students are encouraged to use information and communication technologies also outside the specialized subjects. The aim is to broaden computing skills and to improve the abilities to search, classify and process information from different sources. The students should be fully prepared to gain an internationally recognized ECDL certificate in computer literacy after three years of training, and the school enables their students to gain the certificate at a discount. The principal of the school, an IT graduate, exerts chief influence in this respect and leads the school towards use of ICT. Hence the school provides up-to-date equipment and teachers are required to pass courses focused on the work with ICT. The school has its own intranet network that its teachers are obliged to use not only as a means of communication but also for a whole range of administrative tasks. Therefore the learning environment of the school is presumed to incorporate different ICT. At this stage of our research, we are interested in the view of the teachers, whom we see as key participants in the process of development of such environment. Therefore we have posed ourselves the following central research question: In what ways do the teachers use ICT in their everyday work? We have been particularly focused on these questions: Which ICT do the teachers use while working (including e.g. social networks)? In what ways do hey use them? How do they perceive the potentials and, on the other hand, the limits of the ICT used? How do the teachers perceive differences between the ICT-supported teaching at the secondary school and the vocational college (i.e. also in the combined form of study)? How do they see the future of the school in this respect?<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">The authors have used a qualitative methodology in their research, specifically a case study. The central methods of data collection included a series of half-structured in-depth interviews conducted with eight teachers. Among the respondents were science and vocational courses teachers as well as social studies teachers. The research interview was also conducted with the school&rsquo;s board. Another important method of data collection was an analysis of all accessible school&rsquo;s official documents (particularly the inspection report, the school&rsquo;s achievements evaluation and the school&rsquo;s long-term development plan). The case study included a whole range of observations of the teaching process as well as of the school environment and different out-of-class activities (styles of communication among teachers, school equipment, extracurricular activities etc.).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">The authors are going to present some of the component outcomes of the research in their contribution, the use of ICT by teachers in the teaching process being one of them. The key topic of the research seems to be the e-learning system Moodle. The research indicates that the system has been reduced to &ldquo;learning materials stock&rdquo;. The interesting point is that the system is being replaced by other means of communication, e.g. simple email, shared school disk drives or social networks. Social networks in particular seem to bring teachers closer to students, making both the ICT and the teachers look more &ldquo;human&rdquo;.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">Another topic is the role of ICT in the school&rsquo;s work organization. The school uses commercial organization software along with a non-commercial system (Drupal) and other systems developed by the school itself. This diversity is perceived by a part of the respondents, even by some of the board members, in quite a negative way. The other part of the respondents sees this way of school organization as a very positive timesaving feature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;">At the end of our contribution we are going to point out teachers&rsquo; perspectives on the future use of ICT at the school.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></div>

 <strong>Zounek, Jiř&iacute;. E-learning &ndash; one of the forms of learning in modern society. Brno: Masaryk University, 2009. 161 p. ISBN 978-80-210-5123-2</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This publication is focused on the issue of e-learning. The approach adopted in the book is theoretical and can be characterized as summing up the author&rsquo;s reflection of and research in e-learning. The book is based on a number of research projects, by the author himself as well as other Czech and foreign scholars researching e-learning. The author describes key metamorphoses of social life in connection with the upsurge of modern technologies, e-learning and educational paradigms, e-learning in lifelong learning, social networks etc. The analysis of the individual technologies has a pedagogical focus &ndash; the technologies are examined with a view to their teaching and learning applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;">More information (cover, summary etc.) about the book you can find <a href="http://zounek.cz/wp-content/uploads/file/E-learning_letak_eng.pdf">here</a>.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong>Uk&aacute;zka ze Z&aacute;věru knihy:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">T&eacute;matem knihy se stal vztah mezi učiteli z&aacute;kladn&iacute;ch &scaron;kol a technologick&yacute;mi n&aacute;stroji, jimiž jsou vybaveny dne&scaron;n&iacute; &scaron;koln&iacute; tř&iacute;dy. Tento vztah může lav&iacute;rovat od nad&scaron;en&eacute; oddanosti, přes pragmatick&eacute; spojenectv&iacute; či podezř&iacute;vav&yacute; odstup až k vyložen&eacute; averzi. Fakt, že někteř&iacute; učitel&eacute; vn&iacute;maj&iacute; ICT jako atraktivn&iacute; př&iacute;ležitost, jin&iacute; jako &bdquo;poznanou nutnost&ldquo;, přitom znatelně ovlivňuje četnost, s n&iacute;ž ICT zapojuj&iacute; do sv&yacute;ch hodin. Odborn&aacute; i laick&aacute; veřejnost dnes bere ot&aacute;zku, zda technologie ve v&yacute;uce použ&iacute;vat, jako jednoznačně vyře&scaron;enou. M&aacute; se za to, že v informačn&iacute; společnosti již nen&iacute; možn&eacute; vystačit s tabul&iacute; a kř&iacute;dou (v př&iacute;padě učitelů) či pap&iacute;rem a tužkou (v př&iacute;padě ž&aacute;ků). Na kvalitn&iacute;m technologick&eacute;m vybaven&iacute; si mnoh&eacute; &scaron;koly zakl&aacute;daj&iacute; a použ&iacute;vaj&iacute; je jako marketingovou zbraň v boji o ž&aacute;ky. Samotn&eacute; vybaven&iacute; v&scaron;ak v&yacute;uku v&yacute;ukou neděl&aacute; a na&scaron;e v&yacute;sledky jasně uk&aacute;zaly, jak různ&eacute; funkce učitel&eacute; na technologie nakl&aacute;daj&iacute;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">V teoretick&eacute; č&aacute;sti na&scaron;&iacute; knihy jsme se pokusili rozkr&yacute;t, co je podstatou k&yacute;žen&eacute; proměny &scaron;koln&iacute;ho vzděl&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute;, s n&iacute;ž se operuje snad ve v&scaron;ech &scaron;kolsko-politick&yacute;ch dokumentech posledn&iacute;ch dvaceti let. Vzhledem k na&scaron;emu t&eacute;matu je důležit&eacute; oček&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute;, kter&eacute; se v tomto ohledu vkl&aacute;d&aacute; do technologi&iacute;, jimž je připisov&aacute;n potenci&aacute;l vyučov&aacute;n&iacute; modernizovat, učinit je na jedn&eacute; straně užitečněj&scaron;&iacute;m, na druh&eacute; straně atraktivněj&scaron;&iacute;m. Toto oček&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; se ve světle tvrzen&iacute;, že &bdquo;vybaven&iacute; v&yacute;uku neděl&aacute;&ldquo;, jev&iacute; jako přehnan&eacute; a nerealistick&eacute;. <strong>Technologie zkr&aacute;tka slouž&iacute; lidem, kteř&iacute; je vyvinuli a použ&iacute;vaj&iacute; je, a mohou podporovat behavioristick&eacute;, stejně jako konstruktivistick&eacute; didaktick&eacute; postupy. </strong>Učitel&eacute; v na&scaron;em v&yacute;zkumn&eacute;m vzorku vykazovali tendenci použ&iacute;vat ICT předev&scaron;&iacute;m tradičn&iacute;m způsobem &mdash; s jejich pomoc&iacute; testovali znalosti ž&aacute;ků, posilovali přehlednost či n&aacute;zornost v&yacute;kladu a učili ž&aacute;ky jednoduch&eacute; pracovn&iacute; postupy. Tento fakt nemus&iacute; nutně znamenat, že by ICT br&aacute;nily konstruktivistick&eacute;mu vyučov&aacute;n&iacute;, neboť je možn&eacute;, že pr&aacute;vě automatizac&iacute; někter&yacute;ch rutinn&iacute;ch činnost&iacute; si učitel&eacute; uvolňuj&iacute; ruce pro tvořivěj&scaron;&iacute; pr&aacute;ci založenou na komunikaci tv&aacute;ř&iacute; v tv&aacute;ř. Každop&aacute;dně v&scaron;ak nelze ani konstatovat, že by technologie modern&iacute; vyučov&aacute;n&iacute; nějak stimulovaly. Velmi tradičn&iacute; zůst&aacute;v&aacute; v technologizovan&eacute; v&yacute;uce rovněž vztah mezi učiteli a ž&aacute;ky, dokonce lze ř&iacute;ci, že m&iacute;ra př&iacute;m&eacute; kontroly, kterou se učitel&eacute; snaž&iacute; nad tř&iacute;dou udržet, je patrně vy&scaron;&scaron;&iacute; než v běžn&eacute; hodině. V&yacute;uka s ICT je pro učitele na jedn&eacute; straně dosud pln&aacute; n&aacute;strah, na druh&eacute; straně může sloužit jako n&aacute;stroj pacifikace tř&iacute;dy a pozitivn&iacute; motivace (bonbonek v podobě pr&aacute;ce &mdash; či hry &mdash; na poč&iacute;tači ž&aacute;ci nad&scaron;eně v&iacute;taj&iacute; a c&iacute;t&iacute; se potrest&aacute;ni, je-li jim odejmut).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">N&aacute;&scaron; v&yacute;zkum poněkud navzdory původn&iacute;m oček&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute;m uk&aacute;zal, že pr&aacute;vě zde je třeba hledat hlavn&iacute; důvod, proč učitel&eacute; ICT do v&yacute;uky zapojuj&iacute;. Jejich představa o tom, co technologie dělaj&iacute; se ž&aacute;kovsk&yacute;m učen&iacute;m, je mlhav&aacute;,&nbsp; maj&iacute; v&scaron;ak jasno v tom, že &bdquo;děti s ICT r&aacute;dy pracuj&iacute;&ldquo;. Fakt, že pr&aacute;vě tato &uacute;vaha je zdrojem v&yacute;ukov&eacute;ho využ&iacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; ICT, se pak jasně zhmotňuje v pojet&iacute; ICT jako kulisy a doplňku, jež se v na&scaron;em &scaron;etřen&iacute; objevilo jako druh&yacute; nejčetněj&scaron;&iacute; způsob použit&iacute; technologi&iacute; ve &scaron;koln&iacute; tř&iacute;dě. Ačkoli bychom nad t&iacute;mto fenom&eacute;nem mohli m&aacute;vnout rukou, neboť nen&iacute; od věci, když si děti během n&aacute;ročn&eacute;ho &scaron;koln&iacute;ho dne trochu odpočinou, je třeba si uvědomit efekty tohoto použit&iacute; pro socializaci učitelů do pr&aacute;ce s ICT. Posiluje se t&iacute;m totiž jist&aacute; dvojkolejnost v ch&aacute;p&aacute;n&iacute; vztahu mezi radost&iacute; ž&aacute;ků z děn&iacute; v hodině a didaktickou efektivitou: děti jsou spokojen&eacute;, když mohou b&yacute;t u poč&iacute;tače, ale učitel si to kvůli &bdquo;nabit&yacute;m osnov&aacute;m&ldquo; nemůže dovolit př&iacute;li&scaron; často. Vzhledem k obrovsk&yacute;m investic&iacute;m, kter&eacute; technologizace &scaron;kol obn&aacute;&scaron;&iacute;, se toto vn&iacute;m&aacute;n&iacute; ICT coby v&yacute;ukov&eacute; brzdy jev&iacute; jako poněkud paradoxn&iacute;. St&iacute;žnosti na nabit&eacute; osnovy, jež jsme v průběhu hloubkov&yacute;ch rozhovorů s učiteli zaznamenali poměrně často, dobře ukazuj&iacute; nepřipravenost učitelů &uacute;činně didakticky techniku využ&iacute;vat. Nezb&yacute;v&aacute; než znovu zopakovat <strong>jeden z leitmotivů cel&eacute; knihy: dovednost ovl&aacute;dat ICT je něco jin&eacute;ho než dovednost využ&iacute;vat je v pedagogick&eacute;m procesu. </strong>Jen stěž&iacute; lze tento fakt vn&iacute;mat jako selh&aacute;n&iacute; učitelů &mdash; tlak na použ&iacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; ICT přich&aacute;z&iacute; shora, a měl by b&yacute;t tud&iacute;ž doprov&aacute;zen adekv&aacute;tn&iacute; podporou a vzděl&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute;m učitelů. Sami učitel&eacute; si sv&eacute; limity uvědomuj&iacute; &mdash; nedostatečnou ICT zdatnost a nedostatečn&yacute; přehled o materi&aacute;lech a aplikac&iacute;ch vhodn&yacute;ch pro v&yacute;uku uv&aacute;děli mezi z&aacute;kladn&iacute;mi bari&eacute;rami pro využ&iacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; technologi&iacute; ve v&yacute;uce. V&yacute;sledky z&aacute;roveň jasně uk&aacute;zaly souvislost mezi t&iacute;mto pocitem a četnost&iacute; využ&iacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; ICT. Můžeme to č&iacute;st jako znak jist&eacute; rezignace, nebo naopak jako znak zdrav&eacute;ho rozumu &mdash; je solidněj&scaron;&iacute; vyhnout se naduž&iacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; technologick&yacute;ch vycp&aacute;vek, kter&eacute; s sebou nepoučen&aacute; pr&aacute;ce s ICT nutně přin&aacute;&scaron;&iacute;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>V průběhu kvalitativn&iacute; f&aacute;ze na&scaron;eho v&yacute;zkumu jsme se setkali se skupinou zap&aacute;len&yacute;ch učitelů. Energie, kterou do objevov&aacute;n&iacute; možnost&iacute; ICT investovali, byla nepřehl&eacute;dnuteln&aacute; a jejich hodiny n&aacute;m uk&aacute;zaly, že konstruktivistick&yacute; sen o modern&iacute;m vyučov&aacute;n&iacute; s podporou ICT může m&iacute;t svůj odraz ve &scaron;kolsk&eacute; realitě. </strong>&Scaron;lo o učitele z jedn&eacute; &scaron;koly, kteř&iacute; vytvořili silnou profesn&iacute; komunitu: vz&aacute;jemně si ukazovali, jak techniku ovl&aacute;dat, před&aacute;vali si vytvořen&eacute; materi&aacute;ly a sd&iacute;leli společně sv&eacute; zku&scaron;enosti a postřehy. Tato skupina učitelů může sloužit jako př&iacute;klad neform&aacute;ln&iacute; vzděl&aacute;vac&iacute; s&iacute;tě, jej&iacute;ž členov&eacute; si navz&aacute;jem poskytuj&iacute; podporu a v&yacute;znamn&eacute; impulzy pro dal&scaron;&iacute; rozvoj. Na z&aacute;kladě na&scaron;ich v&yacute;sledků v&iacute;me, že př&iacute;tomnost &bdquo;tahounů&ldquo; ve &scaron;kole je podstatně v&iacute;ce motivuj&iacute;c&iacute; než př&iacute;m&yacute; tlak ze strany managementu &scaron;koly. Nab&iacute;z&iacute; se proto ot&aacute;zka, zda by bylo možn&eacute; takov&eacute;to &bdquo;ostrůvky pozitivn&iacute; deviace&ldquo; systematičtěji využ&iacute;t ve vzděl&aacute;v&aacute;n&iacute; učitelů. Učitel&eacute; se dnes již technologi&iacute;m jen stěž&iacute; vyhnou. I ti z nich, kteř&iacute; s technologiemi nepracuj&iacute;, mus&iacute; nějak&yacute;m způsobem čelit jejich př&iacute;tomnosti v prostoru &scaron;koly. Obran&aacute;řsk&aacute; strategie může b&yacute;t sv&yacute;m způsobem vyčerp&aacute;vaj&iacute;c&iacute; a hlavně &mdash; je dlouhodobě neudržiteln&aacute;. Ať chceme nebo ne, proměnilo se vlivem rozvoje a expanze technologi&iacute; ch&aacute;p&aacute;n&iacute; učitelsk&eacute; profesionality a samozřejm&eacute; nakl&aacute;d&aacute;n&iacute; s ICT se již v t&eacute;to chv&iacute;li st&aacute;v&aacute; jeho ned&iacute;lnou souč&aacute;st&iacute;. Řečeno v maxim&aacute;ln&iacute; zkratce: na&scaron;e data vykresluj&iacute; obraz doby, kdy vět&scaron;ina učitelů dok&aacute;že techniku obsluhovat, ale dosud ne ovl&aacute;dat. Do budoucna nezb&yacute;v&aacute; než si př&aacute;t, abychom se naučili (a to nejen na půdě &scaron;koly) přizpůsobovat technologick&eacute; vyn&aacute;lezy na&scaron;im potřeb&aacute;m a z&aacute;měrům nam&iacute;sto přizpůsobov&aacute;n&iacute; na&scaron;ich potřeb a z&aacute;měrů technologick&yacute;m vyn&aacute;lezům.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>V roce 2010 řeším nový projekt s názvem <strong>Studium na Filozofické  fakultě MU v éře elektronických médií pohledem studentů</strong><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12" /> (Grantový fond děkana Filozofické fakulty  Masarykovy univerzity).</p>
<p>Projekt si klade za cíl poznat proces učení současné generace  studentů na Filozofické fakultě Masarykovy univerzity, přičemž se zaměří  na využívání různých prostředků informačních a komunikačních  technologií při studiu. Projekt se bude snažit identifikovat motivy  studentů pro využívání nebo nevyužívání těchto prostředků včetně  konkrétních způsobů používání ICT při studiu. Výzkum se zaměří rovněž na  to, jaké učební zdroje využívají studenti při studiu, které z nich  preferují a proč. Pozornost bude věnována rovněž otázce, jaká očekávání  spojují studenti s e-learningem na FF MU. Výzkum se přitom nebude  omezovat pouze na využívání fakultních nebo univerzitních výukových  systémů, ale bude se snažit odhalit, jakou roli při studiu hrají  sociální sítě, odborné komunity, případně nové technologie umožňující  sdílení (výukového) obsahu na internetu (např. výzkumné zprávy nebo  studie, elektronická skripta aj.). Projekt svým zaměřením navazuje na  výzkum s názvem Pedagogické a didaktické otázky e-learningu ve výuce na  Filozofické fakultě MU realizovaný v roce 2008 (řešitelé J. Zounek, R.  Švaříček), který byl podpořen Grantovým fondem děkana FF MU a mapoval  využívání ICT z pohledu pedagogů.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span lang="EN-GB"><strong>The book </strong>is an output of the research project &ldquo;Information and Communication Technologies in Everyday Work of Teachers&rdquo; (Czech Science Foundation, Ref. No. 406/06/1022). </span> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Summary:</strong> The book deals with the use of information and communication technologies (computers, internet, video and other didactic technology) in the work of teachers at the basic school. It is divided into two main parts. Part One presents a comprehensive introduction into the issues of implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education while providing an interpretative framework for Part Two, where results of the author&rsquo;s own empirical research are presented. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The theoretical part of the book is based on Czech and especially most recent foreign literature in the field. The focus is on delimiting the sphere of interest, defining concepts, and the process of ICT integration both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Another focus of this part of the book is the barriers to the process of ICT implementation in formal education. Educational research in the field is discussed: the author analyzes findings of a broad range of Czech as well as international research undertaken in the recent years. It has, for instance, turned out that ICT need not necessarily imply innovation in the system of formal education, but are often used to support traditional and proven teaching methods. The theoretical part of the book concludes with a chapter on the situation in the Czech Republic, where ICT implementation into the system of education is mapped from the perspective of school policies, the history of integration of ICT in Czech schools is surveyed and key results of educational research and as well as findings of Czech School Inspection reports are analyzed. They seem to suggest, for instance, that the prevailing focus is on technological tools, with the pedagogical issues of ICT implementation lagging behind. Modern technologies have nevertheless found their way into the work of schools and teachers and are gradually being meaningfully integrated into the teaching and learning processes, too. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Part Two is based on a three-year empirical research project undertaken by the author in Czech basic schools. The objective was to understand and describe whether and how information and communication technologies are present in the everyday work of the teacher as a key formal education protagonist. The research drew on qualitative methodology, mainly interviews with teachers and class video-recordings. This methodology, allowing for extremely detailed analysis of the topic, has rarely been used to explore ICT use in the Czech Republic so far. The research emphasized understanding both how teachers perceive and interpret ICT and their use of it on the one hand and the specific forms of ICT use in class on the other. The key results of the research include the finding that the integration of ICT into the work of teachers is not only a matter of methodology, but that ICT have been influencing relations in the school class as well, an aspect hardly ever mentioned in the discourse on education in connection with these issues. As for the methodological use of ICT, the research has contributed new insights, too. Teachers, for instance, often tend to use modern technologies only to motivate students or &ldquo;fill in gaps&rdquo; in lessons, diverging thus considerably from the original objective of implementing ICT in teaching &ndash; to employ it as a tool for enhancing the efficiency of teaching and learning processes. The widely shared opinion that ICT support teaching innovation has not been confirmed either. </p>
<p>Czech teachers adopt modern technologies even for traditional teaching, many times to good effect. It is evident that the key factors influencing how ICT will be integrated in class are the individual teacher&rsquo;s personality, their concept of teaching and teaching style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The text presents results of a research project oriented on university-level instruction with information and communication technologies (ICT) support. The research took place at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) in 2007. The main research question was: In what ways do teachers consider a didactic use of ICT in their courses? Specific questions the researchers asked were the following: How do teachers think about their e-learning instruction? What are the ways in which their ideas are reflected in e-learning courses structure and form? To what degree are teachers’ ideas present in e-learning courses at the whole faculty?</p>
<p>Research in a teacher’s thinking has been fully developing since 1970s. The aim of the research is to describe a teacher’s mental world. Further, it is presumed that it enables understanding why the behavior of a teacher during an observed instruction has certain characteristics. Instruction surely is a complex process and a creation of a realistic picture of instruction would be the last aim of the research in a teacher’s thinking.</p>
<p>Thinking of university teachers and didactic aspect of e-learning have been relatively little dealt with (in the Czech Republic, at least), while technical aspects have been quite well described. An overestimation of the role of technologies may lead to technologically-oriented projects focusing primarily on the infrastructure and disregarding specific school environments and teachers’ needs and demands. It is clear, however, that the research must be oriented to pedagogical questions, because the introduction of e-learning is not taking place for technology testing and development reasons, but as a means of instruction.</p>
<p>The authors have chosen a mixed research design – they have included quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative part of the research analyzed all accessible e-courses in Moodle. 430 e-courses were analyzed. The analysis focused primarily on the didactic facility of e-courses. The authors further observed what tools of Moodle teachers use and they classified the e-courses into three groups: distance e-courses, blended learning courses, and courses designed as support to classroom instruction.</p>
<p>In the qualitative part, the main method of data collection consisted in a series of in-depth interviews with university teachers, which included observation and think alouds. Semistructured in-depth interviews had a collaborative form where the interviewer and the interviewee worked together on creating of the meaning. There were teachers with many years of practice with e-learning among the interviewees, as well as teachers beginning with this way of teaching.</p>
<p>It follows from the quantitative analysis of e-courses that a majority of teachers create their e-courses as support for the commonplace in-class instruction, which is the predominant form of instruction at the faculty.</p>
<p>In the qualitative research, we focused on a description of the e-environment and its advantages (work monitoring, mediation of materials, and students’ motivation) and disadvantages (temporal demands and loneliness). We identified teachers’ personal theories as the key factor influencing the actual instruction. We divided teachers into three groups regarding their personal didactic theories: constructivists, intuitivists (intuitively discovering some rules of instruction) and technicians (not dealing with the didactic theory). The character of e-system and a teacher’s knowledge lead together to the teacher’s attitude to e-learning. We divided teachers’ attitudes into two groups: e-learning as a Source (e-course as a substitute for a library slot) and e-learning as a Medium (e-course as an environment for the instruction process).</p>
