Abstract
The aim of this empirical research was to explore high school students' and teachers' computer knowledge and skills and contexts of their development. The research was carried out in high schools of Zadar, Pag, and Biograd na moru in April 2007. It included 601 students and 129 teachers. High levels of objectivity of self-evaluation of informants' own computer knowledge and skills have been confirmed by recent empirical research, which is why the same procedure was used in this research as well. The most significant contexts and/or ways of developing computer knowledge and skills were identified by informants' picking out a context/way they personally believed to have been the most important for them. Analyses of results have shown that students' responses differ from teachers' responses with regard to the self-evaluated levels of computer knowledge and skills. The two groups of informants also identify different contexts as most significant for the development of their knowledge and skills.
