Cognitive Mechanisms in the Didactics of Technical Vocational Subjects in the Light of Research on Bioelectrical Brain Activity

Abstract

The main objective of the paper is to present arguments about the multidimensional character of effectiveness of school education and to discuss a number of factors that influence the outcome of education directly or indirectly. Assessing the effectiveness of school education sheds light on its current problems and indicates directions for future research on innovative approaches to solving such problems. Preliminary assumptions for research based on EEG results concerning cognitive performance during student learning in technical fields will also be presented.

Innovativeness of Didactic Practice in the Field of Current Pedagogical Knowledge

“…Modern didactics is an empirical and analytical science dealing with the description and explanation of facts, phenomena and processes occurring in school and social reality. The above theoretical considerations regarding the field of influence of didactic practice induce the reader to further reflection (Prauzner, 2018). The importance of specific didactics in solving problems of general didactics, is invaluable to indicate the specific problems faced by modern education.…”

Progressive Way of Thinking About Contemporary Education - Personal Discussions

“…Communication skills should be understood not only in relation to interpersonal skills, but most of all the ability to use online tools enabling participation in continuous didactic activity. The problem of transition from stationary activity to distance learning forces a rapid change in communication technology through the use of new forms of communication (Prauzner, 2018). In the field of vocational education, the widespread automation and computerization of production processes causes an increase in the demand for highly qualified employees, but at the same time a fairly large reduction in the number of employees.…”

Simulation Programs in Distance Learning

“…As for the possibilities of the programs, they are quite large. You can design, build and test the operation of electronic circuits similar to working in a stationary laboratory (Prauzner, 2018). The advantage of this type of software package is that the individual stages of project work can be carried out safely at home.…”
