Abstract:
When re-thinking the design of the curriculum for pre-service
teachers (in our case in Informatics and Information technologies) we should
start with the main question – what these teachers-to-be should prepare their
students for? The authors’ provide arguments in support of the belief that the
school should be oriented to building competences identified as crucial for the
citizens in a knowledge/creativity-based society. The paper presents authors’
experience in applying some good European practices focusing on lifelong
learning in the context of the pre-service and in-service education of ICTteachers
in Bulgaria.
