| In the paper, a model for planning and evaluation of education is presented. In this model, the main goal of |
| education is divided into 4 sub goals that should be obtained in every educational activity. The 4 main components |
| identified in the model are: total knowledge gained, degree of usefulness of that knowledge, reduction of effort in |
| later learning and effort invested in the educational process. The importance of each of those components varies |
| depending on the level and purpose of education. |
| The model is then specially adapted for computer literacy education at various levels of education. It is shown how |
| the emphasis shifts between different sub goals at different levels of education from kinder-garten and lower grades |
| of primary school to workplace learning. At the end, the use of the model is shown on a case study that deals with |
| teaching information technology use at university level. |
| Keywords: information technology, IT education, pedagogic model, university education |
