Abstract

The experiences of students in different types of specialist information technology (IT) classes, specifically classes in computer studies (CPS) and text and information management (TIM), vary considerably – both between classes and within the same class. However, there are common factors that define students’ experiences, identified here as expectations, prior experience, pedagogy and classroom relations. Focusing on students’ experiences raises questions and has implications for teachers in respect of classroom practice and curriculum development.
