In this project, investigators tried to evaluate the practices of Information Technology (IT) Education in Japan. As a tool for measurement, they selected two kinds of research method. They were Metaphor Method and Picture Projection one, which were originally developed for researches in psychology and sociology. They used those methods to measure children's attitude toward media such as computers and Internet. It is in relation to 3 main objectives in IT Education. Especially, it is a base of practical IT skills and symptom of attitude to participate in information-oriented society.This Research Project consisted of two phases. In the first stage, investigators prepared questionnaire and asked 812 elementary and secondary students in Osaka, Okayama, Wakayama, Kagawa and Hiroshima Prefectures to answer it. After implementation of the questionnaire, investigators visited 5 schools to which the students belonged and had interviews with teachers in those schools about facilities, curricul … More um and teaching strategies for IT Education.In the second, investigators planed and executed the same research to the students in Okayama Prefecture to clarify their development of the attitude toward media. In addition, they revisited the school and interviewed the School IT Leader about the improvement of the practices of IT Education.Data say that students in the school whose curriculum for IT Education is coordinated systematically tend to have ambivalent feeling toward computers and Internet.
