To analyze the current state of informatics education within the tertiary economy and managerial study fields was the aim of the research, the purpose of which was to support curricula innovation in the relevant study programmes and to bring their content closer to the demands and needs of the labour market. An original feature of the research has been the fact that it has been based on students` points of view. The research sample consisted of students of the concerned study programmes in the Slovak and Czech Republic. The paper presents methodology of the carried out questionnaire survey and main findings related to the data recorded at items focused on database systems and technologies. The obtained data related to the respondents` opinions and the assessments of the selected learning topics taught within their study programmes and the importance of these topics for the respondents` professional career were processed according to the factors of the country, gender and field of the study. The results showed a significant dependence of the respondents` answers on their field of the study independently on their gender and the country in which they took their study.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">535–555</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ján Záhorec</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alena Hašková</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin Bílek</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IMPACT OF MULTIMEDIA ASSISTED TEACHING ON STUDENT ATTITUDES TO SCIENCE SUBJECTS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">change of the attitudes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multimedia assisted teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">negative attitudes to school subjects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teaching physics</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2015/987-1437679232.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">During the last decades, multimedia assisted teaching has expanded to all types and levels of schools. The authors dealt with a question whether there is a possibility through the application of multimedia teaching materials in the natural science school subjects to eliminate students' negative attitudes to these subjects. To answer this question, a research was carried out in which the attention was paid to possibilities to eliminate students` negative attitudes to physics as the most unpopular school subject. The authors show how various aspects of students` opinion on physics can be changed due to the use of animations and interactive simulations of the physical phenomena in the teaching process. For the pedagogical intervention two kinds of multimedia teaching materials were used. The difference between them was in the level of their interactivity. Within the research students` attitudes to physics through the given explored aspects were assessed twice, once before the multimedia teaching material pedagogical intervention and the second time after it. As the research results show, although it is possible to certain rate to eliminate students` negative attitudes to physics, this possible elimination depends also on the level of the intractivity of the used multimedia teaching materials.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">361–380 </style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ján Záhorec</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alena Hašková</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michal Munk</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin Bílek</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RESULTS OF PISA AND EVALUATION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">current state of computer science education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">evaluation of informatics teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">international comparison</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">monitoring of students` scientific literacy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">strengths and weaknesses of informatics teaching</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2015/987-1425758806.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In the PISA scientific literacy monitoring carried out in 2006 and 2009 Slovak students achieved results below the OECD average scores while Czech students achieved significantly better results. Following the PISA results there was carried out a research aimed at evaluation of the current state of computer science education/informatics teaching at an upper secondary school level in both countries and moreover also in Belgium. In all three concerned countries a lack of textbooks of an appropriate quality was identified as a main weakness. Further identified weaknesses were: in Slovakia a problem of a lack of tasks attractive for students, in the Czech Republic a weak attractiveness of the teacher's presentation of new material for students and identically to Belgium a lack of engagement of students in tasks solved in class. Positively evaluated was: in Slovakia attractiveness of the curriculum and methods of new material presentation by teachers, and in the Czech Republic and Belgium clarity of the teacher’s presentation of new curriculum.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">234-248</style></section></record></records></xml>
