消費者教育の現代的役割

ーキャリア教育の視点から一

抄録

This report considers the modern role of education for consumers, mainly the educational role of support for career development. On the point of consumer protection, Japan moved to state the rights and the duties of consumers clearly by a revision of the law in May 2004. So, in the present educational scene, it is necessary to turn from education for passive consumers into education for developing rights and consciousness for active consumers. In other words, I think it is basic education for consumers to devise the ability to be "consumers for becoming independent." In addition, viewed from the stance of education as career development support as it is treated in many higher educational institutions,it seems important. Therefore, if education for consumers is accepted widely as consumer pedagogy, I think it is important and proper to place education for consumers within a frame of pedagogy.
