IFIP Working Group 3.1: towards integration of computers into education

Abstract

Education is serving a society in transition. In the emerging society other student competencies are required. Students will only be able to develop these competencies in a changed educational setting in which information technology plays an important role. What is the current situation in secondary education with respect to information technology? What is currently possible? In which direction will developments take secondary education? How will teachers be prepared? For answering these questions there is a basis of accumulated experience in IFIP Working Group 3.1 on Secondary Education. On this basis the WCCE95 Professional Groups, sponsored by Working Group 3.1, will provide a forward look.
