Based on recent literature on the topic, the article starts by introducing the "F@tih Project", a national project that aims to effectively integrate technology into schools. After assessing teachers' and students' ICT competencies, as defined internationally, the review continues with the proposed model for the e-training of teachers. Summarizing the process of development of the new ICT curriculum, researchers underline key points of the curriculum such as dimensions, levels and competencies. Then teachers' e-training approaches, together with selected tools, are explained in line with the importance and stages of action research that will be used throughout the pilot implementation of the curriculum and e-training process.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HofukuChoNishidaetal.2013, author = {Hofuku, Yayoi and Cho, Shinya and Nishida, Tomohiro and Kanemune, Susumu and Linck, Barbara and Kim, Seungyon and Park, Seongbin and Van{\´i}ček, Jiř{\´i} and Gujberov{\´a}, Monika and Tomcs{\´a}nyi, Peter and Dagiene, Valentina and Jevsikova, Tatjana and Schulte, Carsten and Sentance, Sue and Thota, Neena and G{\"u}lbahar, Yasemin and İlkhan, Mustafa and Kilis, Selcan and Arslan, Okan and Nakano, Yoshiaki and Izutsu, Katsunobu and Lessner, Daniel and Reffay, Christophe and Miled, Mahdi and Ortiz, Pascal and F{\´e}vrier, Lo{\"i}c and Grgurina, Nataša and Weise, Martin and Bellettini, Carlo and Lonati, Violetta and Malchiodi, Dario and Monga, Mattia and Morpurgo, Anna and Torelli, Mauro and Planteu, Lukas and Standl, Bernhard and Grossmann, Wilfried and Neuwirth, Erich and Benacka, Jan and Ragonis, Noa and Hodges, Steve and Berry, Carol and Kusterer, Peter}, title = {Informatics in schools : local proceedings of the 6th International Conference ISSEP 2013 ; selected papers ; Oldenburg, Germany, February 26-March 2, 2013}, editor = {Diethelm, Ira and Arndt, Jannik and D{\"u}nnebier, Malte and Syrbe, J{\"o}rn}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-222-3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-63688}, pages = {162}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The International Conference on Informatics in Schools: Situation, Evolution and Perspectives - ISSEP - is a forum for researchers and practitioners in the area of Informatics education, both in primary and secondary schools.
