The primary objective of allocating disciplines of informatics into economic and managerial study programs on ISCED 5 (The International Standard Classification of Education) is to develop those informatics competencies for students which have a broad transfer on the labor market. Therefore, it is necessary to focus in addition of the qualitative aspect of teaching disciplines of informatics also on the educational content of these disciplines in the relevant sector of study programs. We consider that within the statistical analysis of the data might be significant also comparison of interest of students reviews in teaching informatics from the perspective of evaluation (difficulty, attractions, popularity) other, non-informatics learning themes forming the basis of their study profiling, as well as decision-making and choosing future occupation. The authors in this paper present the methodological research background, area specification of aspects which determine optimization and innovation of education in informatics disciplines in the relevant area of study programs with the respect to ever-growing and changing requirements of practice and associated with them the current requirements of European Union labor market on the knowledge of the studied area.
