Povzetek

V prispevku bomo predstavili vpliv uporabe tehnologije na reševanje različnih matematičnih nalog. Pri poučevanju in učenju matematike v osnovnošolskem in srednješolskem izobraževanju se uvaja širša uporaba tehnologije, posledično se širi njena uporaba pri preverjanju in ocenjevanju znanja. Postavlja se vprašanje, kako kljub uporabi tehnologije pripraviti kakovostna preverjanja in ocenjevanja znanja, iz katerih bo razvidna kvaliteta znanja. Torej je pred nami izziv, kako naj sestavimo naloge, ki bodo neobčutljive na uporabo tehnologije oziroma bomo ob uporabi le-te še vseeno preverjali zastavljene cilje. Poleg tega pa je potrebno paziti, da naloge preverjajo različne taksonomske stopnje znanja. Pokazali bomo, kako lahko uporaba tehnologije spremeni cilje preverjanja in vrednost naloge v tehnološko podprtem okolju.

Ključne besede: matematika, IKT, preverjanje znanja

Abstract

The article looks at how technology use affects the way students process different mathematical tasks. As a result of wider use of technology, which is being introduced into teaching and learning mathematics in primary and secondary education, its use is spreading also in the field of assessment and grading. Here arises the question how to provide appropriate assessment and grading of knowledge despite the use of technology, so as to present the real quality of the obtained knowledge. We are thus facing the challenge of how to design tests which will not be affected by the use of technology or will – despite its use – assess the set goals. Besides, attention should be paid to what extent the set tasks target different levels of taxonomy. We will show examples of how technology use can change the planned assessment goals as well as the value of tasks in technology-assisted learning environment.
