Abstract

Removing "information moral", we set up twenty three items concerned with personality formation from "the explanation of the junior high school course of study (December, 1998) for - technology and home economics education-". In order to clarify the degree to which the content of "A-Technology and Manufacturing" and "B-Information and Computers" are easily taught in technology education, and to find the items (excluding the information morals) involving the personality formation through computer use, the awareness of technology education teachers and junior high school guardians was surveyed by using a questionnaire. There was no large difference between the awareness of the teachers and the guardians. The following results were obtained, which were common to both the teachers and the guardians were obtained: (1) About 70 % of all items were taught more easily by "A-Technology and Manufacturing" than by "B-Information and Computers". (2) "Being able to cope with a social change independently" was found to be often raised by "B-Information and Computers" but not often raised by "A-Technology and Manufacturing". (3) Using cluster analysis, it could be seen that "Work ethic", which was often raised by "A-Technology and Manufacturing" but wasn't often raised by "B-Information and Computers", was especially vivid.
