Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Czech term or phrase: názornost
naplnění pedagogických zásad –názornost, soustavnost, změny v aktivním myšlení
studentů, vědeckost apod.), stav motivace k učení …

Studenti oceňovali zejména názornost a zajímavost připravených projektů, v převážné většině by uvítali vyučování za pomocí MMP a interaktivní tabule …

The word názornost is used a lot in the context of education. I've looked in dictionaries and glossaries, but have found nothing useful. It's a term that seems to mean something precise to those who use it, but it's difficult to pin down what that meaning is.

illustrativeness
Explanation:
or illustrative nature, illustrative manner

The substantive form may be a bit unusual, but it seems to be used quite often. "Názornost" is derived from "názorný" as in názorný příklad (illustration, explanatory example, illustrative example) or názorné srovnání (illustrative comparison).

Use of illustrative examples - that would be one of the pedagogical principles.

Názornost projektů - the projects (or their contents) were clear, lucid, easy to understand thanks to many examples, maybe pictures, graphics, illustrations, visuals.

HTH :-)

self-explanation


Explanation:
názorný = self-explanatory

Example sentence(s):
  • Self-explanation is an effective teaching/learning strategy.
  • These studies uncovered the self-explanation effect: students who explain examples to themselves learn better and use analogies more economically while solving problems.

demonstrativeness


Explanation:
If we want to present an object to be viewed, looked at, maybe scrutinized, in order to be (better) understood, i.e "nazren" in Czech, if we need to strees its ability or availability for this purpose, "byt nazren", we have to demonstrate the object.

Example sentence(s):
  • I provide this example to demonstrate my explanation, to enhance its demonstrativeness.

  -> 'Nazornost' neziveho recipientu je vlastnost/schopnost prenasena na vnimatele/agens. Mluvime sice o objektu, ale v podstate nas zajima, do jakych podminek je tim vystaven cinitel/naziratel. Podminka percepce, tj. schopnost 'byt nazren', je rozhodujici.

neutral  Tatiana Fröhlich: recipient=příjemce; co je česky "vnímatel"?

  -> 'vnimatel' je lit.ved. termin; zde ten, kdo nazira/vnima objekt, ktery muze projevit svou nazornost jen pri aktu vnimani/nazirani agensem. 'nazornost' a 'nazirat' maji spolecny koren; schopnost 'byt naziran/nazren' je neoddelitelna od aktu nazirani

  -> Děkuji za podporu - myslím, že vizualizace může být součástí názornosti, ale je na nižší úrovni. Proto jsem hledal obecnější výraz pro "názornost" či "přesvědčivost".

disagree  Tatiana Fröhlich: lucid je jasný či snadno pochopitelný, pominu-li nerelevantní významy tohoto pojmu, ale rozhodně to neznamená názorný...

Explanation:
or visualisation as ....the act or process of interpreting ...

Didakticke zasady v modernej didaktike su: zásada vedeckosti, zásada názornosti, zásada sústavnosti ...
dalej v http://epedagog.upol.cz/eped4.2002/clanek06.htm
"Kdyz se rekne zasada nazornosti, kazdemu sa vybavi meno Jana Amosa Komenskeho. Aj v dnesnej dobe je myslienka "ucitela narodov" stale aktualna. Zasada nazornosti je prikaz :vyucuj nazorne. Je to poziadavka, aby si ziaci pri vyucovani vytvarali predstavy a pojmy na zaklade bezprostredneho pozorovania....
Nazornost - vizualizace zvysuje zaujem o predmet vyuky, pomaha vytvarat jasnejsie predstavy k osvojeniu si abstraktnych pojmov a pouciek pomocou schem, robi vzdelavanie efektivnejsim....
Pardon za cesko-slovencinu...

Dalej v clanku autorka Lenka Partikova : "Zasada nazornosti a tvorivosti v technicky zameranych predmetech " > zaujimave citanie, len 6 stran
Klucove slova :nazornost, tvorivost, kreativita, pedagogicka tvorivost, technicka tvorivost.

Keywords:Illustration, inventiveness, creativity, pedagogical creativity, technical creativity

Dylanova poziadavka bola o preklad slova nazornost v zmysle pedagogickom.
Ak "studenti ocenovali zejmena nazornost a zajimavosti pripravenych projektu, v prevazne vetsine by uvitali vyucovani za pomoci MMP a interektivni tabule..."

...MMP su Multimedialni prezentace - tolko z clanku : Overeni prenositelnosti multimedialnich prezentaci k projektu Tvorba MMP pro vyuku dejepisu, zakladu spolocenskych ved, zemepisu a biologie.
Skola v Kromerizi overovala studijny program kde boli pouzite aj pocitace (pre nazornost)... vysledok si mozno precitat uz v uvedenej webke, este raz http://www.agkm.cz, nechapen ze ju nemozno stiahnut podla maat ka re, ci otvorit?

Ottov slovnik je vyborna pomocka ale v tomto pripade je zbytocne filozofovat o vyzname slova názor, názorný, názornost
nakolko sa jedna o zasadu nazornosti, cize pouzivanie pomocok audio-vizualnych - kombinacia obrazu a zvuku ....

....ako napr. v dalsej praci : nazorne pomocky - visual aids and props www.etcetera.cz

disagree  Ladislav Selepko: your explanation is interesting but look at the language context: we are looking for a quality in the 2nd example, not a process; the1st example is too ambiguous to judge: it could be a quality, or a process, or something else; it could work in some sense
