The objectives of this project were to study the use of computers in Japanese schools and to identify factors contributing to computer integrated teaching and learning.During 1992, a questionnaire survey was cnducted to collec background information on the use of computers from principals, computer coordinators, teachers and students in the sampled elementary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools. A functional information technology test was also administered to lower and upper secondary schol students to assess the level of their knowledge about comuters. Based on these data, 9 schols were selected for case study. Data analysis was made and a final report was produced during 1993.Computer integrated teaching and learning was found to be closely related with, among other things, the attitudes of teachers towards computers, their experiences of in-service or pre-service training on computer, leadership of school administrators, the existence of support structures and mechanisms for computer use, nd the availability of software.
