Opis

Reading the book authored by Miroslava O voldova and Franti ek Schauer, there are three main characteristics to remark: science, technology and pedagogy. First of all, the book is a scientific book because it presents concepts and models of Physics. These descriptions include mathematics, formulas, etc. That is, the book can be used a Physics book. These concepts are evaluated and analyzed through remote experiments based on the technology developed in ISES. And finally, the conceptual and methodological efforts are made to improve the science pedagogy, to facilitate the obtaining of learning outcomes by the students."

Recenzje

«Based on the three mentioned pillars I think that this book will be very interesting not only for researchers, but also intensively for teachers and students at teacher training colleges. The approach of the book is in line with the recommendations of the EU to impulse the science and technology among young students, using a Technology Enhanced Learning approach». (Javier García-Zubía, Faculty of Engineering, University of Deusto, Bilbao, Spain)
«The book authored by Miroslava Ozvoldová and Frantisek Schauer may be analyzed in two dimensions: time plus scientific/technical coverage. A first remark would be that both dimensions seem to be balanced and complete. Regarding the time dimension, the book presents an interesting survey on similar/related approaches about the use of remote and virtual laboratories in science and engineering education. This survey results in a considerable number of references that date back to the early 90's, where initial works on remote laboratories were published. As an expert working in remote labs since the year 2000, I am happy to say this book is an important contribution to the area, describing not only an impressive technical work, but also a passionate effort of the authors towards improving students' (and teachers') motivation in science and engineering education».
