Abstract
Six years after major political changes, and following many years of heated discussions, the Hungarian National Curriculum was finally created in the latter part of 1995. The new regulation identified a compulsory curriculum for informatics, specifying basic requirements at different school levels, as well as the use of applications in other curriculum areas to support learning skills, thinking, self education, exploration and problem solving. Seeking to match the general requirements of the National Curriculum with regards to application systems, this paper describes the goals for informatics teacher training planned through some topics of taught courses.
