Abstract
This study examined the instructional methods for information ethics education at the senior high school. Two methods were used to teach information ethics. One was lecture-based and the other was by experience. Students were asked to write their reflections on the class. This study found differences in the reflections of the experimental group (N=23) and the control group (N=24). Most students who learned by experience pointed out difficulty in identifying a character through Internet. They considered about Internet anonymity from both point of view; a transmitter and a recipient. It is suggested that students who learned by experience were better able to understand the concept of Internet anonymity, although this effect was limited.
