About the Journal

Brief history

Computer Tools in Education journal (“Kompjuternye instrumenty v obrazovanii”) was founded at 1998 and was published on Russian language.
The significant contribution to coming-to-be of the journal was made by two great scientists. One of them - Svjatoslav S. Lavrov - was one of the founders of computer science in USSR. Another - Seymour Papert – create a LOGO language to study interaction between students and computers.
Areas of their activity determine the journal scope.

Journal scope: computer science and its educational aspects.

- historically, the journal has developed as a common space for discussing problems related to enrichment of teaching mathematics and computer science by means of computer tools;
- due to the fact that in modern conditions the use of computer tools starts to directly influence the very subject of mathematics, the journal pays more and more attention to computer mathematics and informatics;
- the journal pays great attention to informing students about latest research topics, therefore, it welcomes articles that explain new ideas of computer science and algorithmic mathematics and articles with problem setting for young scientists.

Since 2025, the journal has been included in the Unified State Register of Scientific Publications — the "White List" (U3)
