DIDACTIC ASPECTS OF LEARNING IN 3D VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT IN MOTHER TONGUE EDUCATION
Abstract
In this paper, the using of e-learning by 3D multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) in mother tongue teaching is analysed. The focus is on didactic aspects of using a MUVE which enables the participants to meet people from different places in the same virtual space. As in a virtual space there are no geographical boarders or time limitations, we consider this environment naturally suitable also for language learning including mother tongue education. The aim of our research, though, is finding out the appropriateness of its usage in mother tongue teaching. For this purpose several 3D virtual teaching objects were created which were then presented to the university students of Czech language and literature. The results of preliminary research regarding the opinion of respondents on using the 3D virtual learning space and the results of 3D virtual teaching which were compared with the results of teaching in the control group which experienced traditional teaching methods (textbooks, working sheets) are analysed.
