Teachers’ attitudes to the use of remote real experiments in teaching at universities

Abstract

Inquiry-based learning is in recent years often inflected phrase in the context of increasing the quality of teaching at various school levels in different countries. Several experts point out that the importance of experiments in teaching science and technology-related subjects is indispensable. In this context, by our research we wanted to find out attitudes of teachers – university teachers who teach science and technical subjects on the possibilities of remote real experiments (RRE) in teaching at universities. To meet the research objectives, we used a questionnaire of our own design. We found, that the number of teachers using RRE in education is inadequate, even though its controls are not needed any special knowledge and skills in IT. Research results in three V4 countries confirmed the need to promote RRE among teachers of all levels of the education system.
