Abstract	When considering the quality of education, one of the most important screening values is information about students' attitudes towards the particular subject. These attitudes are on the one hand determined by the character of the subject and on the other hand by many other aspects. This paper is based on widely conceived international research, oriented to the comparative evaluation of the current state of teaching Informatics from the point of view of specific factors at the upper secondary level of education (ISCED 3A) in the Slovak and Czech Republics. Based on the comparison of positive experience and diagnosis of strengths and weaknesses in teaching Informatics and Programming, its aim from the long-time perspective is to create possibilities to increase quality and attraction of their teaching. The authors focus on the specification of some factors that significantly influence the quality of teaching Informatics from the students' point of view. They also present an analysis of the questionnaire items reliability used to create a quality tool for obtaining reliable data within the completed international research.
