Abstract (2. Language): 
The pedagogical theory of connectivism was born as a response to very fast ICT development which strongly influences education. The study presents our research outcomes of connectivist influences on science education which is focused on the following issues: identification of connectivist factors and their influence on science education; development of connectivist educational methods; implementation of connectivist educational methods into teaching/learning and teacher training. Connectivist teaching/learning methods have to be implemented in science teacher training. We are presenting research outcomes of the implementation of connectivist teaching/learning methods in science education and teacher training. The research has been carried out in the European project “Professional Reflection-Oriented Focus on Inquiry-based Learning and Education through Science” (7FP). The important objective of our research is upgrading of the self-efficacy of science teachers to take ownership of effective ways of science teaching. Students should benefit from connectivist learning methods for their better motivation and understanding science.
