Analysis of educational content of the subject Informatics in selected countries of the European Union in the context of curricular changes in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the paper, we analyze the current state of education in the subject of Informatics at the level of primary schools in selected states of the European Union - Finland and Croatia. The trend of implementation of programming and algorithmization into teaching is also evident in these countries, which consider these topics important. In the first part, we analyze the form of curriculum of informatics in Finland and Croatia. In the next section we will deal with the current curricular changes in computer science teaching which are taking place in the Czech Republic. Then we will focus on examining teachers&apos; views on the form of the curriculum, ie what they think should be taught in schools regardless of the prescribed curriculum. Specifically, we analyze which topics teachers consider more or less important. From the methodological point of view, Q-methodology was chosen. Respondents were presented with cards reflecting the subject matter of information and communication technologies and sorted according to the rules of the Q-methodology according to given criteria, ie from the most important to the least important. Subsequently, their responses were evaluated. The research suggests that teachers prefer user-oriented topics, such as network security (passwords), working with a text and spreadsheet editor (Word, Excel) or communicating via e-mail. While topics focused on algorithmization and programming do not seem to be important for computer science teachers.
