Sažetak
Although it has been many years since the information and communication technology (ICT) was introduced into classrooms, there are still questions about the impact of technology on students’ learning. One of the reasons why it is important to understand the whole process of integration of ICT and the effect of ICT on students' learning is because it also affects the planning of teacher education programmes. Great number of teachers still use computers just as a repository for the content they need in classrooms. ICT could be great help in many other fields as an interactive learning tool, but teachers do not make the most of it. In most cases where ICT is used in teaching, it is considered as a complete substitute for classroom interaction because all that students have to do is to find the materials they need for their classes on web-forums and class webpages. Later they have to do all the learning and understanding of the material downloaded from the webpages by themselves. That is why teachers and educators in general need to understand both pedagogical and technological principles when using ICT in teaching. It is the only way for them to use ICT in an effective way. In this paper suggestions for students and teachers to use ICT in pedagogically and technologically appropriate way are described. Teachers should be prepared to integrate ICT into their teaching practices by designing and developing ICT-supported learning environments. It is important that those learning environments are relevant to the particular purposes and educational contexts of the subjects students are being taught. This paper draws on previous research evidence to identify the gaps between what is known about the usage of ICT in classrooms and the effects on students’ learning, and what for should the future teachers be prepared to and what kind of knowledge they should possess before they start teaching in classrooms.
