Abstract

This article presents and discusses results of empirical research conducted during 2 school semesters at primary school in Poland. This study, using a qualitative approach, aims at the tracing of the process of the implementation of tablets and robots to the didactic design at primary school, the tracing of progressive changes in the area of teaching and learning practices. The results show the dominating technological schemes developed by teachers: a) technologies function in a “closed” form – they are used for displaying ready content and structures to be identified or memorised and b) technologies are used by teacher as “open structures” constituting a collection of various tools subordinated to the intentions of the child as an active creator.
