INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TEACHING PROCESS

Abstract

The digitalization of teaching procedure, as a real fact of the times we live in, brings another element to didactic interpretations of teaching factors. Beside already known facts, triangle the teacher, the content and the student, introduction of the fourth angle would be precisely the digitalization of the teaching process. 

Currently, there is a real need (if we want to keep up with contemporary European and world trends) for the improvement of the teaching process digitalization, which is already more or less established in schools. The trends of price reductions and ever faster and better technical and technological achievements give us the right to estimate that it is only a matter of time for digitalization to become a routine in the teaching process. The increased flow of information, to which we are exposed on a daily basis, necessarily leads to the appearance of "excess information". So, in addition to useful information, we are swamped with useless information in equal amounts. 

It is imposed that when we search for the information, as well as when we use that information, we should make a selection, and that is the first step in knowledge management with the help of computerization of the teaching process. However, there is no single element of educational technology that will be sufficient and modern enough to achieve all goals and to be equally interesting and effective for all students. There are many important issues when it comes to learning and teaching that are the choice of didactic models and strategies when we are talking about multimedia.

Keywords: digitalization of teaching process, knowledge management, introduction of changes, information and communication technologies.
