INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to establish curriculum guidelines to teach informatics as a new instructional subject. It emphasizes teaching the most common computer skills and concepts, and encourages the use of computers in teaching/learning other subjects.

This new curriculum draws on known international and local experiences in the area of computer education, and is in line with the principles of the Educational Reform Plan set by the National Center for Educational Research and Development.

Since informatics is an evolving subject and unique in its need for equipment, teaching should take place in computer labs to emphasize practice in building concepts and knowledge.

GOALS

To develop positive attitudes toward computer, and reinforce student’s self-confidence through the efficient use of this technology.
To value the educational and economic role of the computer as well as its function in facilitating communication.
To interact with other cultures and civilizations through various programs and computer networks.
To develop creativity, logical thinking, problem solving, and analysis abilities through programming.
To recognize the uniqueness of the computer as a programmable machine which can perform specific tasks upon the user’s orders.
To acquire basic computer concepts and their use in various cultural, industrial, and commercial domains.
To acquire information management skills: navigating through information, sending, receiving, storing, and retrieving it.
To acquire database management techniques.
To use the computer efficiently and to manipulate its peripherals for various purposes.
To acquire the basic computer skills needed in the labor market.
