The presented research represents a contribution to solving the issue of quality assurance of informatics education on the tertiary level of education in economy and managerial study fields. Within the research current state of informatics education in selected economy and managerial study programmes was analysed based on students` views and opinions. Necessary research data were collected through questionnaire survey respondents, who were students of the relevant study programmes in the Slovak and Czech Republics. The paper presents in more detail results of the questionnaire part which was focused on finding out how the students evaluate informatics education incorporated in their pre-graduate education considering its relevance to their study and career profiles. Another task of the research was to find out whether the students` evaluations depend on their gender and study specializations, and also whether there are some differences in the evaluations done by the students of the same or at least similar study programmes studying either in Slovakia or in the Czech Republic. As the results showed, students of the economy and managerial study programmes do not connect their future career with the information technologies and they do not have ambitions to be employed in the IT area. But at the same time, they are aware of the fact that the knowledge and skills obtained within their informatics preparation are important for their everyday life and future career. On the other hand, they are not satisfied with the quality of the informatics subjects they are taught. So, to assure the quality of their pre-gradual preparation does not mean only to innovate curricula of the informatics preparation but also to deal with the issues of an efficient transfer of these curricula content to students.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">250-278</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ján  Záhorec</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alena  Hašková</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michal  Munk</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EVALUATION OF THE CURRENT STATE IN TEACHING INFORMATICS AT UPPER SECONDARY LEVEL OF EDUCATION (ISCED3) IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC: CONCEPTUAL AND METHODICAL STARTING POINTS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cronbach’s alpha coefficient</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">quality in education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">April/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://journals.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=939906</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">When considering the quality of education, one of the most important screening values is the information about students´ attitude towards the particular subject that on the one hand is determined by the character of the subject and on the other hand by many other aspects. This paper is based on the widely conceived international research oriented on the comparative evaluation of current state of teaching Informatics from the point of view of specific factors at the upper secondary level of education (ISCED 3) in the Slovak and Czech republics. Based on the comparison of positive experience and diagnosis of strengths and weaknesses in teaching Informatics and Programming its aim from the long-time perspective is to design various possibilities of quality and attraction increase of their teaching in the Slovak Republic. The authors focus on the specification of some factors that significantly influence quality of teaching Informatics from the students´ point of view. They also present an analysis of the questionnaire items reliability used to create a quality tool for obtaining reliable data within the completed international research. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">131-142</style></section></record></records></xml>
