Sekundarni povzetek:	This thesis is based on a didactic use of simulation software in mathematics classes. The goal is to present the ways in which pupils can gain extensive experience, study different influences on systems and, most important connect real life situations with mathematics. What makes this possible is a computer simulation which enables them to recognize functional links and observe different processes as well as complex phenomena. At the beginning of the theoretical part the concept of simulation is presented. It includes representations of mathematical concepts in mathematics classes and an explanation of the concepts of model and modelling describing their role in both, computer simulation and teaching process. The theoretical part continues with an explanation of the computer simulation process, the use of simulation in class and the descriptions of software that were and still are used in teaching mathematics. The theoretical part is concluded by presenting simulation software intended for teaching, Gizmo and SimCalcMathWorld, as well as by describing their use on practical examples. The empirical part of the thesis comprises a research on the effectiveness of the use of the SimCalcMathWorld computer program. Research questions consider students’ motivation for work with the SimCalcMathWorld program and the adequacy of this program for classroom use. In the research two students from grades 8 and 9 studied the topic of direct proportion using the simulation program. After the explanation, the pupils were asked to take a test that was used as an additional instrument; the main research instrument, however, was participant observation. The gathered data was examined by qualitative data analysis in order find out the capabilities and effectiveness of the program as a teaching tool as well as to gain as much information as possible about teaching methods that use the SimCalcMathWorld simulation software.

Povzetek (ePrints):	Diplomsko delo se nanaša na didaktično uporabo simulacijskega računalniškega programa pri pouku matematike. Predstaviti želim, kako lahko učenci z računalniško simulacijo, ki omogoča spoznavanje funkcionalnih povezav in opazovanje procesov ter kompleksnih pojavov, pridobijo temeljne izkušnje, proučujejo različne vplive na sistem in, kar je najpomembnejše, začnejo življenjske situacije povezovati z matematiko. Na začetku teoretičnega dela predstavim koncept simulacije, v katerega vključim načine reprezentacij matematičnih pojmov pri pouku matematike. V okviru koncepta nato nadaljujem z razlago modela in modeliranja, ter opišem njuno vlogo v procesu računalniške simulacije, kot tudi v procesu poučevanja. Nadaljevanje teoretičnega dela zajema opis procesa računalniške simulacije, njeno uporabnost pri pouku in opis računalniških programov, ki so se in se še vedno uporabljajo pri pouku matematike. Za zaključek teoretičnega dela predstavim simulacijska programa, namenjena poučevanju, Gizmo in SimCalc MathWorld ter opišem njuno uporabo tudi na primerih. V empiričnem delu diplomske naloge izvedem raziskavo o učinkovitosti uporabe računalniškega programa SimCalc MathWorld. Raziskovalna vprašanja se nanašajo na motiviranost učencev za delo s programom SimCalc MathWorld in na primernost njegove uporabe pri pouku matematike. V raziskavo sta vključena učenca 8. in 9. razreda osnovne šole, katerima s pomočjo simulacijskega programa predstavim snov premega sorazmerja. Po razlagi učenca rešita preizkus znanja, ki ga uporabim kot dodatni instrument, kot glavni instrument pa uporabim opazovanje z udeležbo. Pridobljene podatke obravnavam s kvalitativno metodo analize. Tako želim preizkusiti zmožnost in učinkovitost programa kot učnega pripomočka pri pouku matematike ter pridobiti čim več informacij o načinu poučevanja z uporabo simulacijskega programa SimCalc MathWorld.
