information and communication technologies (ICT), science courses, teaching methods, basic school

The study is aimed at the use of both chosen teaching methods and available technologies to improve instruction in science courses. It is based on innovation factors within the educational process during instruction in basic schools. These factors support students? interest in studying with the use of innovative sources, particularly information technologies. The current interest of students in science courses is declining, as are their grades. The research question is whether instruction with the use of information and communication technologies can increase the interest in science courses and improve the achieved results. In a basic school, which has a modern measuring kits to labs in physics, chemistry and biology have been tested some approaches from both known and less widely used teaching methods. A methodology is developed and it will be applied in specific classes. Teachers and learners try, whether the current situation is improved. For this purpose an empirical research is designed.
