Definitions


“Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, together with practical techniques for the implementation and application of these foundations” (Wikipedia)

Digital competence involves the confident and critical use of Information Society Technology for work, le isure and communication. It is underpinned by basic skills in ICT: the use of computers to retrieve, assess, store, produce, present and exchange information, and to c o m m u n i c a t e a n d p a r t i c i p a t e i n collaborative networks via the Internet” (European Parliament Recommendation 2006)

“Immediate action is needed to better integrate Computer Sc ience in the schoo l system and change the perception of computing among young people”.

Cepis and Foundation documents

“The school ICT curricula need to reflect a balance between the development of Digital L i teracy and Computer Science”.
