Readiness of Czech teachers for growing demands of information society: Research project

Our intention is to study the teacher readiness to accelerating demands of the information society not only in education, but also in broader pedagogical and psychological contexts. We have in sight connections in which the current computer technology education and training for teachers and the multiple roles of information and communication technologies blend in new relationships and meanings. Our second intention is to extend current knowledge of the status and position in scientific study of discipline "Didactics of computer science". We search after the basic connection between the cause (permanent and accelerating technological innovations, trends in computing and communications technologies) and the consequences in terms of flexible changes in the requirements for teachers. We intend to unify conceptually the term "Didactics of computer science". We also regard the broader social framework of education.
