This article reports on a replication of an earlier (1985) study that assessed the development of information technology (IT) skills in upper primary and lower secondary school students in a city school district in Western Australia. The 1985 study compared the effectiveness of the informal computing curriculum in two primary schools to the formalised courses in the junior classes of a secondary school. A replication of this study in 1991 found that despite a significant increase in computer usage among primary school students, the secondary school computing agenda had changed very little. A comparison of results from both studies revealed that instructional uses of computers in schools is an effective means of developing students' IT skills, a finding that questions the place of formal computer literacy courses in schools. There is a need however, to be aware of the needs of all students. In both studies, discrete groups within the student population were found to have significantly different IT skills.
