Abstract

In Lithuania, teaching and learning informatics in general education has more than twenty years of history. Starting from a theoretical informatics subject now we have a combination of using information and communication technologies (ICT) while learning many subjects with some basic elements of informatics (computer science). The general curricula of information technologies (IT) for lower secondary schools in Lithuania were essentially revised and renewed. The paper deals with the goals and approach of introducing ICT into general education. It discusses the competencies and values to be developed while teaching and learning IT and with IT. The links with other school subjects and the relationship between the compulsory IT course and the integrated parts as well as optional modules are described. Educational standards on IT for lower secondary schools are presented.
