TIEO2020 Technics and Informatics in Education About TIE Conference

Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak has the honour to invite you to participate in

8th International scientific conference Technics and Informatics in Education – TIE 2020

This assembly continues the tradition of gathering scientific associates and professionals in technical, technological and IT education in primary and secondary schools in Serbia. For the last 50 years this assembly has been organized in various forms (scientific and professional conferences and consultations on technical education, information technologies, technical seminars, etc.). These scientific and professional conferences have had a huge impact on the development of technical education, mostly in primary education, as well as in secondary education. This impact is also noticeable in both higher and university education in technical fields.

Five national conferences with International participation titled Technics and Informatics in Education – TIE (on Serbian “Tehnika i informatika u obrazovanju-TIO”) were held biennially from 2006 to 2014. Previous international conference was held in 2016. Still, the necessity for continuous, organized scientific assembly related to technics in new surroundings and connection with other technologies has increased.

The aim of the TIE 2020 conference is to improve the exchange of knowledge and experience between experts, scientific associates and professionals from Serbia and European countries, engaged in the subject matter. The conference will provide an analytical review of technical, technological and IT education, as well as education regarding technical, technological and IT achievements including teaching aids, educational assistive technology, student books, etc. Teacher training is considered highly significant for research and development in education in these fields.

The Conference includes technics, technology and IT education at all levels: from preschool institutions, primary and secondary schools over higher and university education, to various forms of lifelong learning.

Furthermore, the special emphasis is given to the place, importance, and role of informatics and computer science in technical and professional education, as well as correlation with other natural, social and educational sciences. A comprehensive analytical review will be given on the state of education in the field of technics and informatics, as well as its contribution to the other fields.

The conference results are expected to provide the basis for planning the development of education, especially in the fields of technics, technology education, engineering, IT and informatics. The results are also expected to support and contribute to the exchange of educational patterns in the Southeast Europe region and coordination with EU trends in these fields.

We hope that experience gained at the Conference will be very useful both for the participants and for the development of technical-technological education field.

The thematic fields of the 8th international conference Technics and Informatics in Education are:
