The role of computerized laboratory exercises in development of key competencesŠorgo, Andrej (Avtor) Lang, Vida (Avtor) biology educationcomputer based laboratorykey competenceslaboratory workscience educationOver the past 20 years, the first author and numerous collaborators have attempted to introduce computer-based laboratory exercises in science, particularly in biology classes. While working with secondary and post-secondary students, it was realised that it was possible to simultaneously develop cross-cutting competencies that bridged several key competences of the European framework of eight key competences for lifelong learning. These were (a) Collecting, analysing, and organising information; (b) Communication of ideas; (c) Planning and organising activities; (d) Working with others in teams; (e) The use of mathematical ideas and techniques; (f) Problem solving; and (g) The use of technology. When inquiry and problem-solving strategies are used, student achievement is much higher compared to explanatory and expository labs.20232024-04-11 03:50:24Članek v reviji88183sl
