Teacher Training: Teachers from other Disciplines

Whoops, you seem to have scripting disabled!

Can Informatics be taught by teachers of other disciplines at secondary school in the different European countries?

To be able to offer Informatics classes even in the absence of fully trained Informatics teachers, schools may chose to (re-)train in-service teachers as part of continued professional development to teach Informatics classes. This map shows whether this option is available to teachers in disciplines other than Mathematics, Physics, Business, or Engineering and - if so - what amount of additional training in Informatics is required.

For countries with different types of secondary schools, data is given for schools leading to university entrance qualification.

The scale is as follows:

• No - Only fully trained teachers are allowed to teach Informatics
• Substantial Training - Yes, with substantial additional training in Informatics
• Minor Training - Yes, with minor additional training in Informatics
• Yes

In Sweden, the term used for Digital Literacy is digital kompetens, sometimes IT-kompetens is also used. Informatics is refered to as Informationsteknologi or Informatik.
