Abstract

The paper briefly reports on the concept, application and results of the survey for teachers of informatics subjects used as one of the research methods within the "Children's Information technology Competencies and Their Development in Primary and Lowersecondary Schools" research project. The research project focused on a complex issue of curricular, process and organisational aspects of informatics, or information technology education.

The project ran in more than 1000 primary and lower-secondary schools in the Czech Republic in 2013. The questionnaire method was applied in the final phase of the project.

Electronic questionnaire was given to those interested in broader participation in the research in 167 schools. The questionnaire consisted of nine questions in five fields.

The questionnaire was completed by 84 teachers of informatics subjects, who expressed their experience and opinions on the development of pupils' information technology competencies in primary and lower-secondary schools.
