WG3.1 - Informatics and ICT in Secondary Education
est. 1966, revised 1998
The Working Group is concerned with the role of both informatics
and resulting Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
in secondary education (age range from 11 to 18 years).
The mission of the Working Group is to provide a forward
look on the development and impact of informatics and
resulting technologies in secondary education from
an international viewpoint. It tries to identify problems,
document experiences and find solutions.
It does not strive to offer a unique solution to problems,
as it is aware that specific circumstances of people
and countries must in general be taken into account.
Aims
- The Working Group aims to develop effective communication
among its members who come from many countries.
This communication network which is based on group communication
through telecommunications, meeting in person at working conferences
and workshops, allows members to actively access state-of-the-art results of
research and practice and to develop a collective expertise.
- On the basis of this collective expertise, prospective ideas about development
and impact of informatics and related technologies in secondary education are formed.
- The collective expertise is shared with others in open conferences, seminars and
workshops, consultancy, and through telecommunications and publications.
Scopes
The work in Working Group 3.1 covers all aspects of the role of informatics
and resulting technologies in secondary education. Among these aspects are :
- informatics curricula
- informatics in other subject areas
- use of ICT within the subject of informatics and other subject areas
- impacts of informatics and ICT on contents and methods of teaching and learning
- impacts of ICT on organisation and management of teaching and learning
- education of teachers
