Spletna gradiva in aplikacije pri poučevanju in učenju angleščine v petem razredu osnovne šole : magistrsko delo

Štimec, Ida (author), Pižorn, Karmen (mentor), Nančovska Šerbec, Irena (co-mentor)

V magistrskem delu smo raziskovali možnosti uporabe informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije pri poučevanju in učenju angleščine s poudarkom na spletnih gradivih in aplikacijah. Obravnavali smo povezave med uporabo spletnih gradiv in aplikacij ter motivacijo in učnimi dosežki pri angleščini pri učencih petega razreda osnovne šole. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili položaj angleščine kot tujega jezika, definirali nekaj vidikov informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije s poudarkom na internetnih storitvah. Raziskali smo, kako se IKT in angleščina danes prepletata v vsakdanjem življenju in v šoli. Analizirali smo nekaj raziskav, povezanih z našo temo, in navedli smernice, kako naj učitelji izbirajo (spletna) IKT-gradiva pri poučevanju angleščine, ter predstavili nekatera, ki smo jih uporabili pri naši raziskavi. V empiričnem delu so prikazani rezultati raziskave, katere osrednji del je osredotočen na raziskovanje povezanosti med uporabo spletnih gradiv in aplikacij ter motiviranostjo in učnimi dosežki učencev petega razreda pri pouku angleščine. Vzorec predstavlja 6 razredov petošolcev iz 3 različnih slovenskih osnovnih šol (98 učencev). Na vsaki šoli je en razred predstavljal eksperimentalno, drugi pa kontrolno skupino. Eksperimentalna skupina je imela uro angleščine z uporabo spletnih gradiv in aplikacij v računalniški učilnici, medtem ko je imela kontrolna skupina učno uro s poučevanjem po tradicionalnih metodah poučevanja brez tehnologije. Uporabili smo različne metode raziskovanja, in sicer pedagoški eksperiment, podatke smo zbirali z anketnim vprašalnikom in s preizkusom znanja (ta je preverjal znanje besedišča in zmožnost pisanja). Rezultati so pokazali, da učenci v večini (tudi) doma uporabljajo računalnik in internet, tudi za učenje angleščine. Najpogosteje pri tem uporabijo video in avdio posnetke ter spletne igre. Učenci eksperimentalne skupine so pokazali rahlo večjo motivacijo za učno uro, predvsem se to kaže pri strinjanju s trditvama, da jim je učna ura hitro minila in je bila zabavna. Pri analizi med spoloma in uporabi spletnih gradiv ter aplikacij za učenje angleščine ni statistično pomembnih razlik. Dečki v večji meri vsakodnevno uporabljajo spletne igre ter video in avdio posnetke za učenje angleščine. Pri preizkusu znanja ugotavljamo, da med eksperimentalno in kontrolno skupino ni statistično pomembnih razlik. V splošnem je seštevek doseženih točk pri predtestu in končnem testu nizek pri obeh skupinah, v povprečju so na končnem testu dosegli 1 točko več kot pri predtestu. Učencem eksperimentalne skupine je bilo všeč, da so lahko sami uravnavali, kako hitro se bodo učili, večini od njih reševanje nalog na računalniku ne predstavlja posebnih težav. Mogoče je povzeti, da je učencem zelo pomemben vidik učenja tujega jezika s spletnimi gradivi in aplikacijami zabava.

• Title: Web applications in teaching and learning english to year 5 primary school students

Abstract

In this postgraduate thesis, we investigated the possibilities of using ICT in teaching and learning English with an emphasis on web materials and applications. We discussed connections between the use of online resources and motivation and learning outcome of English with fifth grade primary school pupils. The theoretical part presents the status of English as a foreign language and we describe some aspects of ICT with focus on online services. We explored how ICT and English language are intertwined in everyday life and in school. We identified some research related to our theme and provided some recommendations on how to choose ICT (web) materials for teaching English. We also described some of these materials, which were used in our study. In the empirical part the results of the research are presented. The central part represents the relations between the use of web materials and applications as well as motivation and learning achievements of Year 5. 98 students from 3 different Slovenian primary schools (6 classes) participated in the research study. At each school, there was one experimental and one control group. In the experimental group, the students were using web materials and applications in computer lab, while the control group had an English lesson using traditional methods in classroom with no technology. We used different statistical methods namely the pedagogical experiment. The data were collected using a questionnaire and a vocabulary and a writing test. The results showed that students use computers and the Internet (also) for learning English. The most commonly used web tools are online games and video and audio clips. Students in the experimental group showed slightly greater motivation for the lesson. In particular, this reflected in agreeing with the statement that the lesson passed quickly and that it was fun. There is no statistically significant difference in the analysis of gender and the use of online resources and applications for learning English. The boys surpassed the girls in the daily use of online games and video and audio clips. Between the experimental and the control groups there was no statistically significant differences in the achievements on the English test. In general, the scores obtained in the pre-test and final test are low in both groups. On average, the students achieved 1 point more in the final test than in the pre-test. The experimental group students liked that they could adjust the pace of learning English. To most of them, solving the tasks on the computer does not pose any particular problems. It can be concluded that most students think that the important aspect of learning a foreign language with web materials and applications is fun.
