Temelj obrazovnog sistema je os-

novna skola i tu se moraju izgraditi os-

novi i za informaticku pismenost i za sve

izrazenije informaticke aspekte u raznim

profesijama, kao i za budue profesionalce

u oblasti IT. Ovim dolazimo do potrebe

da se informaticko obrazovanje tretira kao

poseban opsteobrazovni sadrzaj, slicno kao

matematika i fizika koje ujedno razvijaju

odreene mentalne sposobnosti, doprinose

razumevanju sveta oko sebe, daju odreena

prakticno potrebna znanja i vestine, ali i

pripremaju najtalentovanije ake da se

profesionalno usmere prema oblastima

gde su predznanja iz matematike i fizike

posebno znacajna. Takoe smatram da se

informaticko obrazovanje u osnovnoj skoli

kao opsteobrazovni sadrzaj treba razvijati u

relaciji sa matematikom i fizikom. Za ovak-

vo pozicioniranje informatickog obrazova-

nja potrebno je promeniti odnos i od strane

kolega iz drugih oblasti koji su skloni da

informaticko obrazovanje vide prevashodno

kao informaticku pismenost koju cine vestine

korisenja tehnologije, ali i od strane kolega

iz oblasti IT koji su skloni da odu u drugu

krajnost prema tradicionalnom pristupu sti-

canja profesionalnih informatickih znanja i

vestina. Izmeu tradicionalne informaticke

pismenosti i tradicionalnog profesional-

nog osposobljavanja informaticara tre-

bamo sagledati prostor za opsteobrazovne

informaticke sadrzaje, a koji su primereni

generacijama roenim u digitalnom dobu.

Nase ministarstvo je potpuno svesno

znacaja obrazovanja za razvoj informacio-

nog drustva i ujedno potencijala tehnologi-

je u unapreenju obrazovanja, tako da je

jedan od najveih dosadasnjih projekata

ovog ministarstva upravo ,,Digitalna skola"

u okviru koga su gotovo sve osnovne skole

u Srbiji opremljene digitalnim kabinetima.

Pored toga smo ve tri godine za redom or-

ganizovali nagradni konkurs ,,Digitalni cas"

za nastavnike koji u svom radu koriste infor-

macione tehnologije. Ministarstvo spoljne i

unutrasnje trgovine i telekomunikacije e

nastaviti sa aktivostima u ovoj oblasti i sa

stanovista svoje nadleznosti e nastojati da

maksimalno doprinese unapreenju obra-

zovanja generalno, a posebno u oblasti in-

formacionih tehnologija.

opportunity to meet a better solution.

The basis of the educational system is

the primary school and that is the place where

the foundation for the IT literacy and more

pronounced IT aspect in various professions

must be built. With this, we come to the need to

treat the IT education as a general education

content, similar to mathematics and physics

which simultaneously develop certain mental

skills, contribute to the understanding of

the surrounding world, provide specific

and practical knowledge and skills, but also

prepare the most talented pupils to da se focus

on the fields where basic knowledge from

mathematics and physics is crucial from the

professional point of view. I also think that the

IT education in primary school as a general

education content should be developed in

relation to mathematics and physics. This

position of IT education requires to change

the relations among colleagues from other

fields who tend to look at the IT education as

computer literacy made of technology skills,

but also among colleagues from the IT field

who are prone to going to the other extreme

when talking about the traditional approach

to gaining professional information knowledge

and skills. Between the traditional IT literacy

and traditional professional training of IT

specialists, we need to find space for general IT

education content appropriate for generations

born in the digital age.

Our Ministry is completely aware of the

importance of education for the development

of information society and at the same time of

the potential of technology in the promotion

of education, so one of the largest projects we

have realized is the project ,,Digital School"

which includes almost all primary schools

in Serbia equipped with digital cabinets.

In addition, for three years in a row, we

organized a competition "Digital Class" for

teachers who use information technologies

in their work. The Ministry of Foreign and

Domestic Trade and Telecommunications will

continue its activities in this field and from the

standpoint of its jurisdiction it will endeavour

to contribute to the improvement of education

in general, and especially in the IT field.
