Izkušnje osnovnošolskih učiteljev z uporabo IKT v času epidemije Covid-19

Novaković, Sanja (avtor), Radovan, Marko (mentor)

Tehnologija je danes pomemben dejavnik, ki vpliva na izobraževanje in je vanj tudi močno vpeta. V šolah se uporablja za izboljševanje učne izkušnje in bolj kakovosten prenos snovi. Nekateri učitelji jo uporabljajo v večji, drugi v manjši meri, doletela pa nas je situacija, ko smo bili v šolstvu od tehnologije popolnoma odvisni. Na začetku leta 2020 smo se znašli pred velikim izzivom na področju izobraževanja. Doletela nas je epidemija koronavirusa, ki je spremenila celoten potek izobraževanja, ne samo v Sloveniji, temveč po vsem svetu. V času epidemije Covid-19 se je ogromno dejavnosti preselilo ravno na splet, predvsem na področju izobraževanja. Učitelji spadajo v skupino ljudi, ki se je bila primorana soočiti s konstantno rabo informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije (IKT), saj je bil celoten izobraževalni sistem izveden v obliki izobraževanja na daljavo. V okviru te naloge sem se ukvarjala s tem, kako so se s sodobno tehnologijo v času koronakrize soočali slovenski osnovnošolski učitelji in kako so premagovali izzive izobraževanja na daljavo. Vsak od sedmih intervjuvancev je imel svojo izkušnjo, ki mi jo je skozi odgovore na vprašanja skušal kar najbolje prikazati. Ne samo v naši družbi, temveč tudi drugod po svetu še vedno obstaja stereotip, ki opisuje slabša digitalna znanja in večji odpor pred tehnologijo med starejšimi. S pomočjo te naloge sem tudi pri sebi na nek način razbila ta stereotip. Intervjuvala sem tako mlajše kot starejše učitelje in ugotovila, da imajo morda starejši učitelji več izkušenj s poučevanjem in manj z uporabo tehnologije, a to ne vpliva izrazito na njihovo poučevanje na daljavo oz. uporabo tehnologije med poukom. Koronakriza je pravzaprav pomenila idealno situacijo, da so tudi tisti, ki prej niso bili naklonjeni tehnologiji, začeli gledati nanjo kot na dobro priložnost za razvoj in učenje. V proces raziskovanja sem vstopila s prepričanjem, da bom od starejših učiteljev prejela odgovore, ki se nanašajo na strah in odpor pred tehnologijo in posledično večje težave med poučevanjem na daljavo ter bolj okrnjeno uporabo tehnologije. Ugotovila sem, da starost lahko vpliva na dojemanje tehnologije, in sicer predvsem zato, ker starejše generacije niso odrasle s tehnologijo, a sem nalogo zaključila z drugačnim mnenjem. Vsak posameznik, ne glede na starost, lahko na tem področju naredi ogromno in tam, kjer je volja, je tudi pot. Morda z rezultati ne morem trditi ničesar, sem pa začela drugače gledati na problematiko. Starejši se vsekakor lahko kosajo z mlajšimi na tem področju in kakovost pouka s pomočjo tehnologije oz. pouka na daljavo je lahko vrhunska le, če se posameznik poglobi v odkrivanje sodobnih načinov posredovanja snovi. Epidemija Covid-19 je bila preizkušnja za učitelje po vsem svetu, a tudi odlična pot za nove priložnosti in učenje.

Izvleček

At the beginning of 2020, we faced a major challenge in the field of education. Coronavirus epidemic happened and it changed the entire course of education, not only in Slovenia but all over the world. During the Covid-19 epidemic many activities relocated online, especially in the field of education. Teachers belong to a group of people who have been forced to face the constant use of ICT, as the entire education system has been implemented in the form of distance education. In the framework of this task, I dealt with how Slovenian primary school teachers faced modern technology during the coronavirus epidemic and how they overcame the challenges of distance education. Each of the seven interviewees had their own experience, which they tried to show me as best as they could through the answers to my questions. Not only in our society, but also elsewhere in the world, there is still a stereotype that describes poor digital skills and greater resistance to technology among the elderly. With the help of this task, I also broke this stereotype in a way. I interviewed both, younger and older teachers and came to the conclusion that older teachers may have more experience with teaching and less with the use of technology, but this does not significantly affect their distance teaching or use of technology during lessons. Covid-19 epidemic was, in fact, an ideal situation for those who were not previously in favor of technology, to start looking at it as a good opportunity for development and learning. I entered the research process with the belief that I would get answers from older teachers regarding fear and resistance to technology and consequently greater problems during distance teaching and of course more reduced use of technology. I found out that age can certainly affect the perception of technology, mainly for the reason that the older generations did not grow up with it, but I completed the task with a different opinion. Any individual, regardless of age, can do a lot in this area and where there is a will, there is a way. I may not be able to say much with the results, but I started to look at the issue differently. Older people can certainly compete with younger ones in this field and the quality of teaching with the help of technology or distance teaching can be top-notch only if the individual delves into the discovery of modern ways of conveying material. The Covid-19 epidemic was definitely a test for teachers around the world, as well as a great route for new opportunities and learning.
