Preparation of the Teachers in Classes I–III of the Primary School for Conducting Classes with the Use of IT

Abstract

The computer classes have been treated as obligatory for the pupils from classes I–III of the primary school since the school year 2009/2010. Both the primary education teachers and the teachers of computer sciences have obtained the entitlement to conduct them. As a result of entrusting the primary education teachers with the computer classes an opportunity for taking advantage of informative and communicative technologies in the integrated classes are augmented. Nonetheless, the research which has been carried out revealed that these activities are rarely implemented in such a way. The analysis indicates inadequate competencies of the primary education teachers as the main cause.
