Through its specific multiple uses, the electronic information technology constitutes an authentic current teaching means, producing a new revolution in education, compared to the one achieved by the invention of printing. Its apparition suggests a reconsideration of the didactic methods and strategies, of teaching style, of the projection and development of the instructive-educational act for the Physical Education in higher education. This is all the more evident if we take into consideration the combination: computer (means: information technology) - course in an electronic format (method) - individual activity (type of organization). When we are referring to the first way of inserting the computer in the curriculum, it is strictly associated to the notion of means; ulteriorly, it becomes a didactic strategy, being combined with other elements. The theoretical course model suggested in this paper constitutes an electronic document, with properties that are imposed by the current standards and demands of the IT users. In this sense, the electronic format desired for the structuring, accessibility, use, and management of the curricular content has been chosen according to the following criteria: accessible and viable presentation; immediate accessibility; ease of use; accessible Internet presence; easy to find and encapsulate the content; modularization and an arborescent structure of information. For this, the format Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) has been chosen, which is very popular, very accessible, and tested over a long period of time by thousands of users. One of its main elements is the navigation tree (the arborescent structure - of dependencies) of the information (contents), called in the Reader: Bookmarks. Also, another main element in the presentation of information is the presentation panel for the actual content of the electronic course, allowing the specification of various attributes for the personalization of the e-course: page rolling, the physical position inside the e-course (the number of the current page, and the total number of pages), the visualizing format (the number of pages presented simultaneously). The concretion of the ideas presented above has been done through the creation of such a model of theoretical course: "The General Bases of Association Football," accessible at: http://cadredidactice.ub.ro/balintgheorghe/files/2012/12/bazele-generale-ale-fotbalului-3.pdf. |
