A Study on Educational Methodology for Building up IT knowledge and skills(<Special Issue>The Educational Technology and Human Resource Development)

Abstract

Since 2003, high school students began learning about IT. But there is a lack of adequate educational methods to build up IT knowledge and skills from high school to university and then from university to the IT company. This problem shows the gap in IT knowledge and skills of each organization at the time of entrance and the difficulty of criterion-referenced evaluation. This paper proposes that IT education needs to teach foundation skills, core skills and implementation skills. And this study will demonstrate the possibility of building up necessary IT knowledge and skills through criterion-referenced evaluation methods.
