New teaching aid for teaching multimedia subject at secondary schools in Czech Republic

Abstract

The aim of the work was to get acquainted in detail with the framework educational programs for secondary schools and on their basis to create the questionnaire for secondary schools, which will find out which programs are used in schools in the subjects of informatics, in the field of multimedia. From detailed research, the authors received detailed information about the most widely used programs. They are the following ones - Gimp, Zoner Draw 5, Audacity, 3D Paint, and Video Editor. Presentations were created for these programs in a uniform form (for each software separately), which serve as a guide to the use of the program and a set of worksheets, including a longer-term project. Worksheets are created independently of the software, contain thematically defined assignments and evaluation methods. They can therefore also be used independently of presentations. The difficulty is based on questionnaires - according to the number of hours that schools devote to individual topics. After the completion of the presentations, the materials were sent to schools and, based on the feedback (second questionnaire), the shortcomings and inadequacies that were originally in the materials were corrected.
