IMPLEMENTING E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN REAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Students in vocational schools in Macedonia are less motivated and both enter and finish with ever decreasing knowledge. Teachers are still keeping to conventional ways of teaching. How to improve this situation? Is it possible that a Moodle eLearning environment will do this? Тhe project, by itself, will lead to easier communication between students and teachers, 24-hour support for the students learning needs, modern e-learning and improvement of the teachers Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competences. With implementation of this educational plan, both teachers and students will increase their use of ICT (e-tests and quizzes, online teaching, preparation of electronic multimedia lectures) and improvement of the group and team work among teachers and students as well. In surveys, teachers and students confirmed that they want to be trained to begin to use the eLearning environment, and underwent training. Also, video tutorials are prepared for that purpose. The results can be seen through observations and interviews in which students are asked if this project started to improve their knowledge skills and whether teachers have started to prepared electronic resources and activities for them.
