What is Students' Motivations, Self-concepts of Ability and Expectations Regarding the Subject Informatics: Results of a School Experiment about?

This paper presents research results of the school experiment InTech (Informatics with technical aspects) where Informatics was established as a subject in the grades 7 to 9 in 13 schools in northern Germany. From 2009 to 2012 the initially 24 teachers regularly met in Oldenburg and developed student-and context-oriented lessons, which have for example the following topics: robotic constructions and programming, workings of the Internet, programming with scratch and image processing. The intention was to encourage technical thinking and practice among about 300 participating students and thereby influence students' career choices.
