Computer Literacy of Primary School Learners Reflecting the Teacher's Adoption of Innovation
Original language description
The paper deals with the problem of developing computer literacy in primary school learners. It particularly focuses on teachers' contribution to acquiring learners' ICT knowledge reflecting the their adoption of innovations in this field. Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory is applied on intentionally selected sample of Czech primary school teachers (N=167) and computer competency of learners (N=173). Applying the tool by Kankaanrinta based on the Rogers' theory, teachers were structured into five groups (Innovators, Early adopters, Early majority, Late majority, Laggards). Consequently, the increase in knowledge of learners was considered in each type of adopter. Didactic pretest and posttest consisted of 18 tasks; five of them were analyzed in this paper. For the purpose of testing, an environment was designed to avoid any impact on the results, and a Dell Latitude notebook was set as a hardware platform. The software part was based on the open source software exploiting Xubuntu 15.10 operational system developed on Ubuntu/Linux basis. The findings proved learners' results depended on the type of adoption of innovations in their teachers.
