The taxonomy of informatics teachers competencies

Although the demand for jobs in all fields of Computer science and jobs requiring the knowledge and skills associated with computers has constantly outpaced the growth in the supply all over the world, satisfactory solutions to the problem have not been found, resulting in a continuous gap between supply and demand. Besides that, most jobs require computer literacy and computer fluency. The only way to provide enough skilled workers is through education. Informatics as a formal school subject in K-12 education, is still insufficiently represented in Europe and the rest of the world. The question arises who will teach the students? If there is no formal Informatics education in the educational system, there is no need for formal informatics teacher education. If there are no formally educated informatics teachers, teachers with no adequate informatics education are frequently assigned to teach Informatics subjects. Using qualitative content analysis method, we have identified nine sets of competencies specific for the informatics teacher occupation presented in this paper.
