COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INFORMATICS TEACHING METHODOLOGIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND GERMANY
Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of methods used in teaching informatics in the United States and Germany. The research explores pedagogical strategies, curriculum design, digital competencies, and teacher training approaches in both countries. By examining national education policies, technological infrastructure, and classroom practices, the study aims to highlight key differences and similarities, while identifying transferable elements that could inform the improvement of informatics education in Uzbekistan. The analysis focuses on how each system addresses modern digital challenges, fosters programming skills, and prepares students for an increasingly digitized world. Special attention is given to the integration of informatics into primary and secondary education and the role of interdisciplinary learning.
