The Importance of Introducing Innovations in the Teaching of Informatics and Computer Science in Primary School

The paper presents the importance of introducing innovations in the teaching of informatics and computer science, which is studied in primary schools. Given the rapid development of science and technology and the availability of these new technologies to today's new generations, there is a need to change the way we approach the students’ upbringing and education. The introduction of innovations in the teaching process, primarily computers and computer technologies, encourages greater motivation and interest of students to acquire new knowledge and to study teaching materials, as well as check previously acquired knowledge. The justification for introducing innovative methods in teaching the subject of informatics and computer science has been proven on a concrete example through the usage of the application "InfoZNANJE". This application was created with the aim of enriching and improving the teaching of the subject in which it is applied, and its functionality is reflected in solving pre-prepared interactive tests in a digital form adapted to the age of students and the class they attend.
