MICRO:BIT AS A NEW TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS IN SERBIA

Abstract

The gap between abstract and often inconceivable frontal studies and the new wave of practical teaching, which forces the individualization and independence of students in education, is overcome by the introduction of new technologies, one of which is Micro:bit. By teaching students digital-technical literacy in a fun way, the interest and will of the students for the subject increases at the same time. The benefits of this device are not only aimed at students but also at teachers and the entire school system. Modernization and the introduction of new approaches pave the way for the schools of the future both in Serbia and around the world. The work is divided into two parts, the first theoretical part is about the basics of the micro:bit, the appearance of the device, its specifications, and the programming languages in which it is implemented, as well as the practical part, which is reflected in the survey of the current attitudes of teachers from Serbia.
