INFORMATICS IN SCHOOL: CROSS-COUNTRY COMPARISONS AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Abstract

The article discusses the results of comparison of school subject "Informatics" in 11 countries. A study was performed an international group of experts in the 2014–2015. The objectives and competencies, educational content, programming languages and tools, evaluation methods, teacher training are compared. The trends and efforts on the development of the subject "Informatics" in several countries are described; some ideas are expressed for its improvement in Russia.
