Özet: Nowadays, the ability of students to put factual data about particulars into context is very low. The main reason for this can be attributed to the fact that many schools and teachers still put excessive emphasis on the memorization of data and propositions, but sparingly use teaching methods which develop the ability of contextualization. Also, in the Czech Republic, students' interest in natural science and technical fields is a long-term problem which is reflected in the lack of a suitably skilled workforce in the labor market. At a time when extensive use of information and communication technologies is offered, there is a chance to solve these problems. Among the solutions which could be to used are: dynamic semantic networks for knowledge representation in teaching, electronic worksheets on tablets, or creation of a virtual guide for tours in educational exhibitions. This article presents possible methods of mLearning which should contribute to a better contextualization of knowledge, long-term retention of information and positive attitudes to the natural and technical sciences which can result in choosing a field of study or employment in these fields.
