Abstract

The experiences show the students can not acquire easily the learning material of Computer Architecture subject without laboratory where they could to build, test, repair computers. The goal of this re-search was an analysis of the paper re-sults in two groups. In the first group of lectures I made just the presentation while the lectures for the second group were complement with training in com-puter laboratory. My starting hypothesis was that the group where we used the computer laboratory to build, test, repair computers would achieve better results in the papers. After the evaluation of the paper results the correctness of the original presumption emerged. I used by the compare of the paper results the Independent Samples test. Significance level was 5% through the analysis. Significant divergence in knowledge of students took part on training in laboratory and students visited just the presentation was found. The students could get a one mark better paper results when they could see really work a computer, how they could test it, repair it. We can say the using of computer laboratory like training place is productive, and the students visit the la-boratory and the presentation with more motivation, and get better result when writing papers.
