European Digital Transformation Needs Indicators of Informatics Competence
No full textIn today’s world it is crucial that individuals, regardless of their position or daily activities, be digitally skilled. Digital skills sit at the application level, where people must be able to operate, through technological devices and systems, with applications. This happens in a variety of sectors: It could be argued that in today’s world, digital applications are utilized in some capacity across all areas of services, production, and communication.
However, it is important to remember that all these artefacts are driven by the scientific discipline of informatics. That is why concepts like data, algorithms, computing machines, programming, communication and coordination have to be part of the standard school education, much like those of force, energy, cell, organism, molecule, etc. are. The practical side, that is the equivalent of the laboratory for traditional sciences, has also to be part of this education. Moreover, digital technology is affecting human society, and it is therefore necessary that all students are aware of the implications that technology, developed on the basis of Informatics principles, can have on human beings and their relations

Informatics Reference Framework for School
No full textThe contribution that informatics has made since the last century has fuelled innovative and significant technological advances and vice versa. It makes fundamental contributions to current economic, educational, industrial and social development. Informatics importantly has the capacity to support and augment human reasoning and potential. Education systems have a responsibility to recognise this and to ensure that young people are equipped to be able to drive forward, judge innovation and take part in the development of a just and fair society. To properly embrace this development by society in general, informatics has to be seen as an essential aspect of the education of all pupils. The present report, which outlines an informatics reference framework for all young people, bears that in mind. It is intended to offer high-level guidance that may be used by, and indeed stimulate, curriculum designers to review their focus and approach to the subject of informatics

Designing and Implementing a Concrete Informatics Curriculum for School
No full textIn order to benefit from the Informatics Reference Framework for School1, and to implement it successfully for the benefit of pupils in each country, two main tasks need to be addressed. Firstly, it is of utmost importance to have well-educated teachers of informatics. Secondly, it is also important to have concrete curricula designed to take into account particular situations and needs in each country, as well as accommodating age and appropriate stages of development of pupils. General curriculum design approaches and pedagogy should be tailored to the specifics of informatics. Some ideas and experiences to guide decision makers and curriculum designers in this respect are presented in this document. This document focuses on pedagogical issues and related concerns that should be considered when using the Informatics Reference Framework for School for the development of concrete curricula. Factors to consider in the development of well-educated teachers are presented in Section 3.1; general curriculum design considerations are presented in Section 3.2; and specific challenges of creating learning activities, learning outcomes and designing for overarching features such as inclusion and diversity are addressed in Section 3.3
