Computing and Information Technology in Higher Still: Let's Get It Right.
Bird, David; And Others
Scottish Educational Review, v28 n1 p3-15 May 1996
Criticizes computing and information technology curricula in "Higher Still" (proposed new Scottish upper secondary curricula). Argues that the proposals are outdated, inflexible, and inconsistent with current "5-14" curricula. Examines specified courses in information technology, higher computing studies, and information systems; suggests major alterations to meet all students' needs as "tool users" and specialist needs of future "tool designers."
