| Abstract | The suppositions and dimensions of the influence of secondary school education on the quality and effects of informatics education in University are manifold. The influence of secondary school education can be perceived through two basic dimensions: 1) the general influence dimension of a specific secondary school, and 2) the dimension of the influence of computer and related classes, which students were exposed to during secondary school. The aforementioned dimensions of influence can be analyzed by defining key factors of general secondary school education, and the factors of informatics education in secondary school, which are significant for the quality and effects in higher computer science education. The defined basic and exactly measurable criteria of the influence of secondary school education on the students´ informatics education in college are the criterion of the number of school years during which information science classes were taken, as well as the criterion of secondary school orientation (course), among which those students were selected, who graduated from economics secondary schools and gymnasium (comprehensive) secondary schools. |
