Abstract
This paper focuses on the development of a new method in consumer education by combining the research on information-related activities and practices of consumer education using life-indicators. We applied the life-indicators to evaluate elementary school students through the lessons of ethical training, Japanese, and social studies. The students are classified into three groups according to their information-related activities. The score of the self-evaluation of those with low activities remained low even after the lessons. On the other hand, the score of the students with high activities continuously increased after a decline. Moreover, they reached higher stages in the growth process as a human being as a result of consumer education.
