„COMPUTER ECOLOGY“ – KNOW-HOW FOR CLASS PROJECT

Abstract

The increased consumption and the using of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are leading to dynamical applications as well as to increased problems with ICT-waste. A big amount of valuable material is disappearing at the dumps. How are knowledge of students and teachers in the mentioned area – it is the content of school curriculum or it is necessary to add this topic into the school curriculum? Do students have any knowledge about materials on the electronic devices and how much costs their recycling? Some answers gives questionnaire “What with old computers?” distributed to students of teaching. By results we propose some activities, classes or class projects, for primary and secondary science education oriented to integration of science subjects (experimental activities, data mining and evaluation, calculations, geographical aspects, work with foreign texts, etc.). Key words: class project, “Computer Ecology”, science education, electronic waste, opinions of students.
