Incentives to Develop the Use of ICT in the Process of Education

Education, which facilitates running of technocratic and bureaucratic processes of contemporary Euro-American civilization, is necessary but not sufficient. This type of education lacks the synthetizing power, and therefore we should strive for essential education, focusing on the development of all atropines.Such education means creation and self-creation of man and is based on “care of the soul”. It is the education which seeks and reveals the meaning and context of the information presented, which is to become knowledge and also the purpose of practiced skills that enable us to succeed in our social reality.Reflection on the process and the outcomes of education leads us to the formulation of the requirements of the synthesis of cognitive, emotional, value and action components of teaching and study programmed, curricula and syllabi. Information and communication technologies open up the path to make us familiar with much greater range of information, ideas and inspiration than immediate experience can provide and individual educational effort can cover. When used adequately, ICT allows us to go beyond the horizon and settle down in the world; it allows us to link our observations, knowledge and information with other people sharing with us the knowledge, understanding and hope. The text provides ideas concerning the use of ICT, which undergraduate students formulated in their reflection essays in 2009-2012. The first table shows the contribution of ICT in communication and mutual understanding. The second table covers the impact of ICT use on the ethics of communication, the hermeneutic ethics. The third table contains suggestions for development of education in the present while the indisputable part of the essays was the form of learning and teaching in the postmodern concept. The tables are supplemented by commentaries. These reflections are followed by results of empirical research in terms of evaluation the educational process with the use of eLearning courses in humanities at the faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Králové in the period 2004- 2011. In the conclusion relevant suggestions for essential education are proposed.
