IMPORTANCE OF IT TOPICS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TEACHERS AND OF THEIR PUPILS, OR WHAT WOULD TEACHERS WANT TO TEACH AND WHAT WOULD THEIR PUPILS WANT TO LEARN?

The change in the curriculum of the educational area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which is planned in connection with the implementation of the Digital Education Strategy up to 2020, implies some great expectations, as this change is expected to bring some improvements and thus help to improve the quality of education. Nevertheless, there are also some subjective preferences related to the educational content-both from the point of view of IT teachers and their pupils-which should be taken into account in the implementation. What preferences and interests are they? We will try to answer this question in the presented paper introducing some partial outputs of the research, which focused on the issue of preferences related to the educational content of IT subjects taught at primary schools in the Czech Republic and whose target group consisted of teachers of upper primary and grammar schools as well as their pupils.
