Sažetak
This paper presents the research methodology and preliminary results aimed at forming the profile of informatics teachers in secondary schools in Vojvodina that could serve as a source of information for planning education modalities for informatics teaching staff. The research instrument used was a questionnaire designed to collect data on teachers’ profile described by objective indicators (academic and permanent education), self-evaluation of teachers’ own competency in Informatics and pedagogical-didactic domains, teachers’ opinion on the importance of informatics and pedagogical and teaching methodology corpus in the university curriculum for informatics teachers, their opinion on the extent of the informatics domain knowledge in secondary education curriculum and preferred education modality for informatics teachers. The preliminary results indicate that there is an imbalance in the academic education of teachers while their self-assessment shows that their knowledge of more complex and contemporary aspects of Informatics, as well as the pedagogical and teaching methodology corpus is insufficient. Furthermore, the teachers’ opinion is that many of the Informatics domain topics are not adequately represented in secondary school curricula in Vojvodina. The research also indicates a preference for specialized integrated studies as an education modality for informatics teachers.
