Secondary title:	Attitude of pupils towards pocket calculators
Secondary abstract:	The thesis deals with the way pupils use a pocket calculator and the attitude of pupils towards it. The first part contains selected research studies regarding pocket calculators. The thesis provides an overview of the differences in the use of a calculator before and after its introduction into the school curriculum, the purposes of its use, the differences in use, the attitude towards calculators with regard to gender and the success of pupils with or without special needs, if they use a pocket calculator at solving mathematical tasks. Afterwards, it describes the introduction and the use of pocket calculators in the Slovene lower secondary schools and the contents, in which the use of calculators is prescribed by the school curriculum for mathematics. The empirical part provides results obtained by a questionnaire. We tried to find out, if there were any differences in the use of calculators and the attitude of pupils towards pocket calculators regarding the class they attend, gender and their success at mathematics. The results showed that there are differences between seventh graders and ninth graders with regard to the way and the frequency of the use of pocket calculators. In homework situations the ninth graders chose to solve calculations more often with a pocket calculator that seven graders, whereas the seventh graders would rather decide to solve demanding examples by heart or in written form without a pocket calculator. Regarding the gender of pupils, there are not many differences in the use of a pocket calculator. The analysis showed that the way of use and the attitude of pupils towards pocket calculators differ between more and less successful pupils. The less successful pupils use a pocket calculator more often than more successful pupils. Moreover, the analysis showed that the more successful pupils solve demanding tasks mostly without a pocket calculator, whereas the less successful pupils solve tasks mostly in written form or with a calculator. The more successful pupils, compared to the less successful ones, agree that the use of a calculator makes pupils lazy; however, some of them think that a mathematical lesson with the use of a calculator is more fun.

Abstract (ePrints):	Diplomsko delo govori o načinu uporabe žepnega računala in odnosu učencev do njega. V prvem delu so predstavljene izbrane raziskave, ki so jih izvedli po svetu v povezavi z žepnimi računali. Predstavljene so razlike v uporabi žepnega računala pred in po uvedbi v učni načrt, za kakšne namene se lahko uporablja računalo pri učenju, kakšne so razlike pri uporabi ter odnosu do računal med spoloma ter kako uspešni so učenci brez oziroma s posebnimi potrebami, če pri reševanju nalog uporabljajo žepno računalo. V nadaljevanju pa je zapisano, kako je z uvajanjem in uporabo žepnih računal v naših osnovnih šolah ter kje uporabo predpisuje učni načrt za matematiko. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati, dobljeni z anketnim vprašalnikom. Postavili smo si raziskovalna vprašanja, s katerimi smo želeli ugotoviti, ali obstajajo razlike v uporabi in odnosu učencev do žepnih računal glede na razred, ki ga obiskujejo, spol ter uspešnost pri matematiki. Izkazalo se je, da se sedmošolci in devetošolci razlikujejo glede na način in pogostost uporabe žepnih računal. Devetošolci so se pri izračunih v domačih nalogah v večji meri odločali za reševanje primerov z žepnim računalom, sedmošolci pa bi težje primere rešili na pamet ali pisno, brez žepnega računala. Glede na spol se učenci pri uporabi žepnega računala ne razlikujejo veliko. Analiza je pokazala tudi, da se način uporabe in odnos učencev do žepnih računal razlikujeta pri bolj in manj uspešnih učencih. Manj uspešni učenci uporabljajo žepno računalo pogosteje kot bolj uspešni. Razlike so opazne tudi pri načinu reševanja primerov pri domačih nalogah, saj bolj uspešni težje naloge večinoma rešujejo brez žepnega računala, manj uspešni pa jih v večini rešujejo pisno ali s pomočjo žepnega računala. Bolj uspešni se v večji meri kot manj uspešni strinjajo tudi s tem, da uporaba računala poleni učenca, vendar so tudi mnenja, da je matematična ura z uporabo žepnega računala bolj zabavna.
