Informatics: First Contact | Higher Secondary |
A part of pupils (I think, small part in the whole country, statistics does not exist) are able to attend Informatics course aged 7. All pupils must attend Informatics course aged 14-15. |
Informatics: Availability of Courses | Yes, compulsory II |
In Russia the school level that leading to possible university entrance officially has name "full secondary" (10-11 grades, analog "high school" in the U.S.). Informatics is not mandatory subject on this level, but most of full secondary schools includes Informatics in curricula for all students. Informatics may be studied on "base level" (about 90% students) or on "profound level" (about 10% students). (It is necessary to clarify that Informatics is mandatory subject on the level of 7-9 grades). |
Informatics: Curriculum Consistency | Country |
School curriculum forms from two parts: 1) dictated by Federal Educational Standard (FES) and 2) from school part. Informatics as separate subject in FES provides only in middle school. But many schools include subject “informatics” in high school curriculum and even in elementary school (it is very popular now). So, correct answer is “only part of school curriculum in Russia consistent across all schools”. |
Informatics: Enrolment | all students |
100% in 7-9 grades (or only in 8-9 grades). Official statistics for 10-11 grades does not exists. In my region (Perm Krai) most of students learn Informatics (on "base level" that means one lesson in a week). |
Digital Literacy: First Contact | Primary |
In cities mostly aged 7-8, in rural areas later, particularly as far as internet is concerned. |
Digital Literacy: A Separate Subject? | Separate subject |
Digital literacy is part of the subject “Informatics” |
Digital Literacy: Curriculum Consistency | Country |
I think (E.Kh.) that more correct answer is “Digital literacy curriculum in Russia consistent across all schools” because
But local differences exist, of course, too, because schools may include to school’s curriculums (and do it really) additional requirements to the level of digital literacy, beginning from elementary school and further. |
Digital Literacy: Enrolment | all students | |
Teacher Training: Special Qualifications | Special qualifications |
Most of teachers are graduates of so named “Pedagogical institutes”. There are about 50 such institutes in the country (best of them named ‘Pedagogical Universities”). Such institutes give the qualification ‘Teacher of |
Teacher Training: Number of Subjects | 1 |
Mostly one subject, but sometimes two (for example, Mathematics and Informatics). Most reason to teach two subjects in case of Informatics is insufficient number of hours for full-time work in a school with small number of students. |
Teacher Training: Entry Requirement | M.Ed. / M.Sc. + pgc. | |
Teacher Training: In-Service Length | No in-service part |
Most teachers are graduates of so named "Pedagogical Institutes" (or "Pedagogical Universities") where pedagogy, psychology, methods of education, and teaching practice are realized in parallel with subjects of one profile (for example, Mathematics) or 2 profiles (for example, Mathematics and Informatics). Such training lasts 4 years ("bachelor of education" or 6 years ("master of education"). Part of teachers are graduates of "classical" universities where in-service part of teacher training lasts 7-12 months (relatively small courses of pedagogy, psychology, methods of education and short teaching practice). |
