Konstantinos J. Charatsis

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the connection between the teaching of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in primary school and the development of pupils’ social and moral values. The examination will be done by researching the cognitive objectives of the ICT course, their teaching methodology and moreover the context of how the course is organized. The latter will examine both the contribution of the teaching room and available computer equipment, as well as the contribution of the attitude and behavior of the teacher. Considering that there is indeed a dynamic in the relationship between ICT teaching and the promotion of social and moral values, the work aspires to highlight and strengthen it. It aims to emphasize to fellow teachers the peculiarities of the course and the possibilities for the social development of students and the promotion of their social and moral values through the specific subject.

Key words: social values, moral values, development, ICT
