Preparation of Future Teachers for Measuring Technical Quantities

Abstract

In addition to acquiring pedagogical and methodological competencies, preparing future teachers of scientific subjects is also focused on acquiring practical skills of students from various technical fields. One of these fields is the measurement of technical quantities. The paper presents the methodological basics necessary for the preparation and implementation of environmental temperature measurement and the results of the measurements obtained by the students. Two thermometers were used to measure the temperature. The classical thermometer measured the air temperature, and a spherical thermometer measured the radiation temperature of the same environment. The obtained data were evaluated using methods of descriptive statistics, and the whole experiment was also assessed from the point of view of measurement methodology. The data obtained from the measurements of both thermometers showed differences, allowing the students to understand the difference between air and radiant temperatures.
