Abstract. Žilková, K.: Manipulations on the topic symmetry, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. The examination of congruent representations and their properties is useful to realize in terms of didactics by various manipulations. The paper offers some suggestions for exploring particularly the reflection symmetry through various activities using mirrors and also instructions for creating a virtual kaleidoscope in the environment of dynamic geometry. These described activities can be understood as propedeutics of congruent representation and their properties.
Keywords: manipulation, symmetry, math, education, mirror

Abstract. Zaduban, Z., Židek, O.: Pentomino as a tool for development of spatial imagination, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. The contribution deals with the importance of the development of spatial imagination and its influence on the quality of development in educational and personal life of an individual. The main benefit of this contribution is to assess the effectiveness of teaching methods of the mathematics using “pentomino” puzzles as well as the creation of new, non-traditional tasks based on these puzzles. In our case, this teaching method was proved as very effective and thus it opened the possibility of wider use in teaching of mathematics.
Keywords: Pentomino, combinatorics, planar shape, handling technology, visualization, space orientation

Abstract. Ožvoldová, M.: Is science teaching in the crisis? What next?, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. The paper deals with the situation concerning with the students secondary physics knowledge and math as well entering the universities. One of the possibilities how to stop decreasing interest of students in physics and natural science is to gain student´s motivation for studying and the better understanding of physics laws and its methods. Also it is necessary to change the classical methods and forms of education, which still remain at the most levels of tertiary education. We suggest and introduce a new interactive technology of education, called Integrated e-Learning, where remote experiments (RE) across the Internet is the basis for this strategy.
Keywords: science, physics, education, integrated e-learning, remote experiments, Internet

Abstract. Čerňanský, P., Schauer, F.: A direct measurement of adiabatic constant of air, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. Physical experiment played a crucial role in the development of physical knowledge. The same holds for physics instruction. The recent trends, emphasizing more competencies than knowledge, prefer rather constructivist approach. This brings a renascence of interest for experiment in physics. The paper deals with an application of constructivist method based on experimental experience of the learner. It presents a specific problem of experimental study of the ideal gas behavior. Namely, the study of adiabatic process and the adiabatic constant determination are provided. The technology can be modified to remote experiment technology.
Keywords: ideal gas, adiabatic process, adiabatic constant, Poisson law, constructivist approach, remote experiment

Abstract. Beňo M., Ožvoldová M.: Comparison of the interfaces for building remote laboratories. The latest development of information and communicatiom technologies (ICT) allows us to establish not only virtual experiment via interactive applets, but also real remote experimentation via the Internet. Their massive utilisation into teaching and learning process is the question of the near future. The paper presents an analyses and comparison of two systems used for building e-laboratory: Remotely controlled Laboratory – Kaiserslautern – Germany and E-laboratory – University of Trnava.

Abstract. Gerhátová, Ž.: Real, real remote and virtual experiment – part of integrated e-learning in physics teaching, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. The paper presents possibilities of using the real, real remote and virtual experiment – part of integrated e-learning in physics teaching. Integrated e-learning (INTe-L) is a new strategy of education, where the base pillar is the using of real, real remote and virtual experiment in science and technology teaching. We completed the standard e-learning about the missing element by experiment. A new strategy of education is based on the methods of cognition which are used in scientific work.

Abstract. Gerhátová, Ž.: Strategy of Integrated e-learning in the teaching of inclined throw provided in environments SMART Board interactive whiteboard, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. The recent development of ICT allows us to establish virtual experiment in natural sciences by the help of applets, interactive simulations and real remote e-experiment accessible via the Internet. Their implementation in teaching is the most important part of educational reform also in the Slovak Republic, because the results of education depend on the teaching methods and forms. The paper presents a preview of the practical application of strategies for integrated e-learning, which implies a real, real remote and virtual experiment with e-materials in the interactive SMART Board environment. This combination of SMART Board and virtual experiment multiplies the interactivity of teacher and pupil.
Keywords: experiment in physics, integrated e-learning, interactive simulations and applets, interactive whiteboard, inclined throw, video recording

Abstract. Žovínová, M., Ožvoldová, M.: Using remote e-experiments to measure acceleration due to gravity, Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser. C. Within the paper we present the interactive way how the students can measure online acceleration due to gravity via remote real experiments. We introduce five real remote experiments – simple pendulums that are free available for every experimenter. E-experiments can not only entertain but also help students towards deeper understanding of the laws relating to the acceleration due to gravity. Student can determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity and to find out that it is not a constant because it depends on position on the Earth.
Keywords: acceleration due to gravity, e-experiment, physics, real remote experiment, simple pendulum

Abstract. An analysis of particular possible contributions of the background in the environment for gamma radiation measuring is made in the paper. There are compared the fundamental facilities of scintillation and proportional detectors and their expediency for measuring in the environment. Comparative measuring for ratio signal/noise for scintillation and proportional detector are made in the next part. Theoretical comparisons of possibilities of using with ionization chambers, but without experiment are made in conclusion, too.

Abstract. Gazdíková, V., Javorský, S.: Interactive presenting materials and presenting tools in the process of education. Paed. Univ. Tyrnaviensis, Ser, C. The article deals with the problem of ‘interactive means’ usage in the process of education. It is oriented towards the analysis of their actual usage within traditional teaching in selected Slovak cities. With this experiment we investigate the volume of presenting tools and interactive presenting material’s usage regarding the age of pedagogues. The article also interprets results achieved in the research and indicates the solutions for improvements in actual conditions.
