Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Informatics in Schools: Situation, Evolution, and Perspectives, ISSEP 2016, held in Münster, Germany, in October 2015. The 17 full papers presented together with 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The focus of the conference was on following topics: sustainable education in informatics for pupils of all ages; connecting informatics lessons to the students’ everyday lives; teacher education in informatics or computer science; and research on informatics or computer science in schools (empirical/qualitative/quantitative/theory building/research methods/comparative studies/transferability of methods and results from other disciplines).
