“…The new role of teachers is connected with their openness to the new, subjective character of participation of pupils and students in the educational process which involves wide forms of formal education along with non-formal and parallel education. Thus, this is connected with combining the potential of pupils with the educational possibilities of new web media (Alvarez et al 2013). The changes determined in the educational sphere are a source of new professional challenges for teachers, namely to improve media-information competences and the necessity to develop them in professional work.…”

The paper presents the complex problems of preparation of pedagogy students to work as teachers in the context of their readiness to use ICT in the didactic process. The complexity of this subject matter has been proved by the current, ongoing, discussion about the direction of the expected transformations of contemporary schools and the prospective teachers education system in the age of prevalent digitization. Considering the complexity of conditions, the main research problem has been formulated as follows: Conditions of what type affect the preparation of prospective teachers Educ Inf Technol (2017) to use new media in learning and teaching process?. Thus, the empirical analysis conducted in the paper focuses on the following issues: the style of using new media by students, identification of students' attitudes towards media, subjective (from the students' point of view) assessment of how university level schools are prepared to shape modern media competences among their students and self-evaluation of media and IT competences in the group of prospective teachers. Czech and Polish students, despite being the so called digital natives, do not present homogeneous styles of using new media. They also reveal different attitudes toward applying digital solutions to the didactic process. Factors such as: low evaluation of one's own competences or lack of evaluation in this area, lack of creative approach to the use of new media, lack of education in the area of new applications, lack of skills necessary to handle basic digital tools (e.g. interactive board, e-learning platforms) negatively affect, in most cases, the attitude toward the active use of ICT tools in future didactic work. On the basis of the gathered empirical data and inductive qualitative analysis a typology of students attitudes toward new media was developed. It consists of four categories: technooptimist, techno-realist, techno-pessimist and techno-ignorant. The whole of analyses has the character of comparative research and involves two neighboring countries of the Visegrad Group: Poland (N = 466) and Czech Republic (N = 168).

“…Learners subsequently can collect learner-centered learning information and make learnercentered learning portfolio or collection. Instructors subsequently can give propitious response via learning results [10]. It is anticipated that in the prospective years, the school education division over the world needs to get arranged for the generation of digital classrooms which upkeep or prop up apprentices to enough make 21st century aptitudes as the progressive learning process.…”

“…The institution of digital resources, propelled strategies for correspondence and digital platforms for learning and educating understands various prospects to overhaul the learning process in school edification in the 21st century. It is expected that such learning method is reinforced by resources in mechanized or digital and non-propelled/digital structures impeccably inside and outside of digital classrooms [11] in which apprentices consistently exercise flexible computing devices and social learning frameworks for the recuperation, decision, and sharing of true blue information from various sources [10][12] [13]. The learning process for making 21st century capacities is depicted of three highlights.…”

The main and one of the curriculum or prospectus goals of elearning in school edification is to cultivate apprentices for 21st century aptitudes through their consistently erudition works out. From previous studies in the related fields demonstrates that K-12 schools should take in e-learning sense of how to extend learning odds of apprentices/students for the change of 21st century aptitudes. Six examination problems vital for e-learning in school education has been perceived, to be particular the affirmation of making 21st century aptitudes of apprentices; the traverse or bridging of the gap/breach between instructive modules in school and circumstances in general society eye; the enhancement of learning prospects in the learning development; the amassing of evidence of progress and constructing cognizance of headway; the evaluation of 21st century capacities; and the acquisition of educator transformation for enculturating learners to make 21st century capacities and aptitudes. Several other authors applaud the huge accomplices across over different countries to ponder strategies on the target setting of curriculum or instructive projects tending to 21st century aptitudes revolution and associating fissure amidst society and school; on the convenience of ICT for school edification; on the security concerns of learning data in e-learning process; and on the pre-service or in-service educator/instructor progression. In this paper we discuss the investigation concerns and strategy insinuations or suggestions essential for realizing such an instructive projects objective.

“…The mentioned positive effects of the cooperative organization of the math class are proven right, as much in real settings as in virtual ones, in such a way that a promising new line of research on synchronous and asynchronous learning which relies on Information Technologies as an essential backup for cooperation has appeared (Rubia & Guitert, 2014). In this regard, the interactive video, tablet computers, digital pencils, the interactive board or personal computers have turned out powerful tools for the implementation of cooperative learning approaches (Álvarez, Salavati, Nussbaum, & Milrad, 2013;Jackson, Brummel, Poliet, & Greer, 2013;Tsuei, 2012), giving rise to a new, specific line of work known as CSCL (ComputerSupported Cooperative Learning). However, even though the positive effects of cooperation on academic performance are conclusively proven (Roseth, Johnson, & Johnson, 2008), the effectiveness of any cooperative methodology depends on an optimal harmonization between three structures (task, goal and reward) and two parameters (equality and mutuality).…”

Título: Aprendizaje cooperativo en matemáticas: Un estudio de los efectos del parámetro de igualdad sobre el rendimiento académico. Resumen: El principal objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la importancia del contenido de aprendizaje y el papel de los conocimientos previos de los alumnos para la formación de los grupos de aprendizaje cooperativo. La investigación se desarrolló en tres aulas de matemáticas de un centro de Educación Secundaria y la muestra estaba formada por 72 alumnos de 3º curso de ESO. Los resultados vienen a demostrar la existencia de una correlación negativa entre el parámetro de igualdad (cooperación, colaboración y tutoría) y la mayor o menor proximidad cognitiva existente entre los conocimientos previos de los alumnos y la estructura de los contenidos de aprendizaje. Palabras clave: aprendizaje cooperativo; parámetro de igualdad; enseñan-za de las matemáticas; conocimientos previos; educación secundaria. Abstract:The aim of this research is to determine, the importance of learning content and the role of students' prior knowledge for the formation of cooperative learning groups. The research was conducted in three mathematics classrooms at a secondary school and the sample was composed of 72 third year students. The results prove the existence of a negative correlation between the equality parameter (cooperation, collaboration and peer-tutoring) and the degree of existing cognitive proximity between students' prior knowledge and structure of the learning content.
