information society; information education; pedagogical faculties; curricula; study materials

Most teachers and people in educational institutions at all levels now realise that it is necessary to prepare our children for living in an information society. The question is, what should be the content of information training for future teachers of primary and secondary schools? The approach to information education of teachers differs widely: from very technical aspects trough acquirements of computer literacy to the claim on deeper study of informatics and medial literacy. In the present paper we want to open discussion about the information education of teachers (especially in pedagogical faculties) and invoke some co-operation in the development of curricula and study materials.
