FUTURE ICT TEACHERS - PROGRAMMING APTITUDE

Dehnadi developed a programming aptitude test within his thesis in 2006. The test predicts whether a person can become a programmer without requiring any prior programming experience. A research concerning students' programming capabilities evaluation with regard to the input Dehnadi's test we began at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, in 2011 and at the Faculty of Sciences in 2012. Some results were presented at the ERIE conferences in 2012 and 2013. In comparison with the results published in the last year's article describing an in-depth analysis of Dehnadi test on a sample of several hundred students completing an introductory programming course at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, this paper introduces the same analysis performed on students, future teachers studying the Informatics specialization at the Faculty of Sciences.
