Bachelors and graduate students are offered in the course of teaching computational informatics, the ability to solve nonstandard mathematical problems, which, as a rule, are not included in the content of teaching computational informatics. The article aimed to analyze the application effectiveness of non-standard mathematical problems in the…

Interdisciplinarity is becoming increasingly important in education. With the rapidly evolving job market, an interdisciplinary education can prepare students for the flexibility and broad knowledge base required to adapt. At the University of Pisa, we recognized the value of an interdisciplinary educational environment during our participation in…

Informatics education has been in a cul-de-sac for several years (not only in Hungary), being less and less able to meet the needs of the industry and higher education. In addition, the latest PISA survey shows that--to put it a little strongly--the majority of the x-, y- and z generations are digital illiterates. The aim of this paper to examine…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore a possible strategic role for computing ethics and investigate how they might align with corporate values and higher education (HE) strategy making. Design/methodology/approach: A longitudinal study of a university in the South East of England is used to examine qualitative findings and develop a…

Bioinformatics--the so-called shotgun marriage between biology and computer science--is an interdiscipline. Despite interdisciplinarity being seen as a virtue, for having the capacity to solve complex problems and foster innovation, it has the potential to place projects and people in anomalous categories. For example, valorised…

Enterprise 3.0 offers potential solutions for the quality, maintenance and sustainable development of services. The synergy between Enterprise 3.0 and engineering education advances the development of innovative products, processes and services in the European economy. Aim of the research is to analyze student engineers' use of Enterprise 3.0…

This paper attempts to present the current state of computer science penetration into librarianship in terms of both workplace and education issues. The shift from material libraries into digital libraries is mirrored in the corresponding shift from librarians into information scientists. New library data and metadata, as well as new automated…

This work examines the Israeli National Informatics-Computer Science (CS) Olympiad from the perspective of diversity. A conspicuous phenomena in this olympiad (as well as in other science olympiads) is that very few females participate in the national competition, and none has ever represented the country in any international competition. When…

The motivation for organizing the meeting was to search for ways to advance information technology in Israel and to explore avenues for its export. As a result of the very early introduction of electronic computers to Israel and the subsequent active use and development of computers by the government, commercial and educational sectors, Israel's…

In order to meet the needs of the developing nations, a large number of panel sessions was organized to discuss the basic elements of computer technology that are of interest to developing nations. Some of the issues discussed are: (1) How does one get started with a small or with a large computer system? (2) Who are the individuals who can be…

Provides rationale for introducing information technology courses in secondary schools. Discusses priorities (target audiences, time parameters, course topics, resources needed) to be considered before introducing such courses. The author's proposed course is outlined and discussed, consisting of historical/political, economic/social,…

Part 1 (SE 532 887) focused on the need for a secondary school information technology course. This part provides and describes content appropriate for the course, focusing on the three main themes of the course. Among the topics considered are technology/change, information in post-industrial society, population explosion, automated office, and…

A study examined the computer and information technology (CIT) training provided in 61 training schemes in 10 regions throughout the United Kingdom under the auspices of the Youth Training Scheme. Of the 52 programs for which data on the time spent on CIT were available, 12 offered 5 days or less of off-the-job training with little other…

The information-based technologies and the accompanying managerial sciences have come to symbolize the ideology of progress and operate as a material instrumentality in social governance systems. Developing countries have incorporated the technologies, but have lacked a developed knowledge or service sector; the linkage of…

A study examined recent developments in computer and information technology (CIT) training in the United Kingdom to determine those elements of CIT training that could be incorporated into the Youth Training Scheme (YTS). Information for the study was obtained from national and regional officials of the Microelectronics Education Programme…
