Abstract

Currently, career education is becoming very important for a university. The information literacy program occupies the very big position as the foundation of career education. In order to perform effective career education, the contents of information literacy education is important. In recent years,since “information” become a common core subject in Japanese High school, the contents of the information literacy education in a university are also changing. In this paper, we report an investigation of a university new student's information literacy capability, and discuss about change of information literacy capability before and after becoming “information” a common core subject. And from a viewpoint of career education, we propose about use of YES-Programs, and use of National Examination for Information Processing Technicians as a performance goal in an information literacy program.
