Around the world, formal education systems are bringing computing knowledge to learners. But what exactly is set down in different countries' computing curricula, and what are classroom educators teaching? This was the topic of the first in the autumn series of our Raspberry Pi research seminars on Tuesday 8 September.
[...] Examples of mismatches include lower numbers of primary school teachers reporting that they taught visual or symbolic programming, even though the topic did appear on their curriculum.

This table shows computer science topic the METRECC tool asks teachers about, and what percentage of respondents in the pilot study stated that they teach these to their students.
[...] If you missed the seminar, you can find the presentation slides and a recording of the researchers' talk on our seminars page.
In our next seminar on Tuesday 6 October at 17:00–18:30 BST / 12:00–13:30 EDT / 9:00–10:30 PT / 18:00–19:30 CEST, we'll welcome Shuchi Grover, a prominent researcher in the area of computational thinking and formative assessment. The title of Shuchi's seminar is Assessments to improve student learning in introductory CS classrooms.

You should understand basic principles. That's a lot difference from "you should know how". Particularly since they started integrating electronics. I could disassemble and rebuild a VW engine, and consider that was time well spent. These days even the mechanics depend on closed source machinery...machinery that they can neither fix themselves nor buy at a local store.
