Abstract

The curricula for Computer Science Education (CSE) of many countries comprise both Programming and Information and Communication Technology (ICT); however these two areas have substantial differences, inter alia the attitudes and beliefs of the students regarding the intended learning content. In this study, variables related to students' attitude were chosen and applied to programming and ICT courses respectively. Responses from the total of 126 Greek students, (71 on ICT and 55 on Programming) were used. Based on these responses we identified the differences of students' perceptions among ICT and Programming courses.
