Prispevek obravnava uporabo spletne učilnice kot orodja za dajanje, preverjanje in ocenjevanje spletnih domačih nalog pri matematiki v okviru izobraževanja bodočih učiteljev razrednega pouka. Podani so rezultati empirične raziskave, v kateri je sodelovalo 242 študentov. Anketiranci so s pomočjo spletnega vprašalnika podali mnenja o ustreznosti števila spletnih domačih nalog, količini časa, porabljenega zanje, in namenu reševanja ter oddajanja spletnih domačih nalog. Rezultati kažejo, da so študenti kampanjsko učenje nadomestili z bolj sprotnim, kar pomeni, da je bil naš cilj dosežen. Obenem pa se je izkazalo, da so študenti novo obliko dela pozitivno sprejeli.

Ključne besede: spletna učilnica, spletna domača naloga, matematika, bodoči učitelji, razredni pouk.

Abstract  

The paper introduces the use of virtual classroom as a tool for designing, testing and evaluating mathematics virtual homework in elementary pre-service teachers’ education. We present the results of empirical study in which 242 students participated. Respondents conducted an online questionnaire about their opinions on the adequacy of the number of virtual homework, on the amount of time spent for them, and their persuaded aims in solving virtual homework. The results show that the main goal, which was to learn continuously versus in a campaign way, has been achieved and that students welcomed new form of work.
