Course content
1. Information unit, signal, Boolean algebra laws, Venn diagrams, basic logic members, truth table, examples of typical combinational circuits in Deeds simulator (parity generator, address decoder, de-multiplexer, comparison circuit, code converter). Sequential circuits - principle and difference of Mealy and Moore's automaton, flip-flop R-S, D, level and edge notation, register - parallel and serial transmission, counters - ascending, descending, synchronous and asynchronous. 2. Didactics of teaching HW computers - methods of explaining the term controller, instructions, demonstration of processor work using a simple cycle simulation in the Deeds environment. Method of simulating the assembly of basic computer components in Virtualbox. Demonstration of working with disk memory, tests of operational memory and other components, working with disk image. 3. Didactics of teaching informatics with the use of terminal stations, possibilities of application software installations, method of terminal connection using RDS. Demonstration of professional classrooms for teaching technical equipment at secondary schools in the field of IT and electrical engineering, school networks and server rooms, including a network credit printing solution. 4. Didactics of teaching data networks using the CISCO academy, classroom equipment, teaching materials, typical examples of basic configuration, assembly simulator and computer network configuration.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Activating (simulations, games, drama)

  • Semestral paper - 16 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 25 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The goal is to use didactics, pedagogy and psychology for teaching computer science at secondary vocational schools in the area of technical equipment and to prepare students for successful completion of practice and self-teaching in secondary schools in terms of knowledge, methodological and practical. The course is a didactic interpretation methods and theories focusing on the content of the curriculum in secondary schools and familiarization with methods of teaching and the organization of work in laboratories focused on technical equipment and its applications in computer science.
The graduate is able to manage the lesson, create a curriculum, prepare a lesson, diagnose pupils' mistakes, understand the objectives of teaching in individual areas of ICT.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of general didactics or school pedagogy.
