Abstract:

Visualization of teaching has become an essential part of the educational process and its appropriate use provides countless opportunities in education for both students and educators. There are many categories of material teaching means that contribute to more efficient achievement of educational goals, to the presentation and demonstration of the curriculum in various ways, to the activation of students, to motivation to learn, to rationalize and intensify teachers' work and much more. It is necessary to take into account the quality of education and the direct learning process, which means the efficient and trouble-free integration of these resources into teaching. The paper provides an insight into the didactic efficiency and deficiencies of the integration of selected groups of teaching aids in teaching at secondary vocational schools, based on variable methods of their application resulting from previous surveys, which can be commonly encountered in teaching - often without the educators themselves realizing it.

The aim of the survey was to reveal the degree to which respondents experienced insufficient integration of teaching aids into the educational process during their secondary school studies. The target group consists of undergraduate students of the Institute of Education and Communication of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague specializing in teaching vocational subjects and practical training, who completed a course focused on the efficient use of teaching aids in the educational process. An electronic questionnaire was used as a survey tool between the academic years 2017 to 2020. The results of the survey show a positive and negative evaluation of the ways of integrating teaching aids into education, from which it is possible to deduce which areas of visualization make educators the biggest problems. The paper provides educators with students' assessment and experience of how teaching aids can be efficiently integrated into teaching and, conversely, what they should prevent when using them.
