Sažetak
In anticipation of the introduction of the elective subject of Information Sciences for the lower grades of primary school, a question of the professional teaching competences of students - future teachers and current teachers of Information Sciences (with an emphasis on programing), comes into the focus. This article discusses their ability from professional (knowledge of programing) and pedagogical aspects. We present the results of a research conducted among students of the Faculty of Education Sciences with a module in Information Sciences and Informatics Teachers in the Class Teaching study group. Respondents, through self- evaluation of their knowledge and competencies in the field of programing, gave answers from which it can be concluded whether they are ready to teach programing. The article also presents a case study in which students of the final year of the Faculty of Education Sciences with a module of Information Sciences, made a video clip of processing new contents for a programing class, as a methodical exercise. The programing languages used were Scratch, Python and the micro:bit simulator. Project assignments were correlated with the subjects of Croatian language, Physical and Health Culture, Music Culture, Mathematics and Information Sciences. The results of the research indicate that the respondents are generally ready, but they would need additional education in programing domain.
