چکیده
The paper is focused on development of innovated course focused on ergonomics education in the conditions of the Czech Republic. Although the proposed course can be seen as a country oriented it is built on universal foundations, which can be applied everywhere. The ambition is to create innovated course content that will be fun and educated at the same time. During course preparations a Constructivism theories were applied to ensure better understanding of the ergonomics issue. The course is also constructed according to recommendations of International Ergonomics Association and Federation of European Ergonomics Societies. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
