TVV 2025, 18(2) 
The article addresses teachers' readiness for effective implementation of virtual reality and gamification in economic education. Secondary education faces a significant change in students' preferences, who expect interactive and experience-oriented forms of teaching. Although numerous scientific studies demonstrate the high effectiveness of these technologies, their real integration remains limited in the Czech environment. A pilot study at a selected Prague business academy revealed a fundamental discrepancy between the perception of the potential of these technologies and their actual use in practice. The paper identifies key systemic barriers...

The research focuses on the development and validation of a set of didactic tests for the subject of Technology at the primary school level, specifically in the thematic units "Technical Materials and Their Processing Procedures" and "Methods of Machine Material Processing." The aim was to create specification tables and verify the tests through a pilot project conducted with 7th and 9th grade students. The results demonstrated the reliability of the tests (reliability coefficients of 0.737 and 0.796) and an average student success rate above 69%. Differences were also observed between genders of pupils. The tests proved to be an effective tool...

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), rapid technological changes are occurring in industrial sectors, which also bring new challenges to education. Digitalization, automation, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things generate new occupational risks for which it is necessary to prepare students as future experts and employees. Traditional forms of education are no longer sufficient for current needs. In this context, the concept of Education 4.0 is increasingly being promoted, which supports flexible, digital and integrated forms of teaching, such as e-learning. The aim of the contribution is to analyze the possibilities,...

TVV 2025, 18(2)
The article deals with didactic aspects of teaching technical vocational subjects in secondary vocational schools with the aim of analysing current approaches and identifying key challenges. It is based on the theoretical background of the teaching process, the concepts of quality and effectiveness of teaching in vocational technical education and the role of so-called transdisciplinary didactics. The text also conceptualizes different systems of teaching, including subject-based, operational, complex-operational and modular, and their application in the context of vocational education. Based on the research conducted, the paper also focuses on the...

JURIČEK Miroslav, CZ, KUDLÁČEK Štěpán, CZ, KLEMENT Milan, CZ
TVV 2025, 18(2)
The integration of 3D printing into the educational process provides an opportunity to develop computational thinking and cross-curricular links (STEM/STEAM). This concept enables, first of all, the understanding of modern digital devices, but also directs them to solve problems in the field of algorithmization and programming in a new way. One of these ways is the possibility of analyzing G-code, which is generated by a 3D printing program (called a slicer), with programming languages such as C or Python, as they share some common features. If the teacher does not want to directly incorporate the creation of custom g-code into...
