The development of computer education in the Bermuda school system

Abstract

This study examines the development of computer education in the Bermuda school system. Three phases are encompassed, the historical development, a questionnaire which surveys government and private schools, and conclusions with recommendations for the Bermuda system. A literature review of other similar studies was done, with particular attention paid to accepted standards, scope, development, studies, and recommendations made.

The literature review compares similarities and differences that Bermuda shares with other countries which have recently introduced computers as an integral part of the curriculum. Two appendices (I and II) are in the form of questionnaires, and accompanying each of them is a glossary of questionnaire terminology (Appendix III), and a letter of introduction to the participants (Appendix IV). The results of the questionnaires and a study of what was found after analysis will influence the recommendations made for the future of computer education in Bermuda.
