Abstract

The contribution is focused on a study of attitudes of pupils to employment of Microcomputer based laboratories (MBLs). To follow their attitudes, the questionnaire inquiry was made and evaluated among three groups of high school students of 81 people totally.

The inquiry showed that employment of MBLs in chemistry education is an interesting and motivating part of education, pupils also mentioned as advantage the connection between the MBL employment and real life and they consider experiments made using MBLs more visual than "classical" methods of education. They also mostly mentioned that MBLs helped better to understand the taught phenomena.

Majority of pupils would appreciate to use the MBLs in common education. On the other hand, majority of pupils do not consider the experiments made using MBLs as more attractive than those made by a common ways.
