Students’ problems with positioning upbringing in it education in the case of early school pupils

Abstract

In each education area implemented in grades I–III, including in IT education, proportions must be maintained between educational and upbringing activities. As early as at the stage of their professional training, teachers should be encouraged to spread IT upbringing, in particular related to the safe and optimal use of information and communication technologies by young users. The study refers to what is contained in the core curriculum and selected curricula directly or indirectly related to IT upbringing. It also analyses activities connected with IT upbringing in the preparation and conducting of classes by students of pedagogy majoring in early school education. Some of these students demonstrate a type of behaviour which shows lack of information regarding the area of IT upbringing, which in adult life may become a hard problem to solve.
