In the revised Courses of Study, the ability to utilize information is positioned as a fundamental quality and learning and is required to be cultivated across subjects. However, the ability to utilize information that can be taught through the learning activities of each subject are not sufficiently organized and related to each subject. In this study, we analyzed the curriculum guidelines for elementary, junior high and high school based on the IE-School systematic table of information literacy by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). As a result of the analysis, among the items of information application ability organized in the IE-School Systematic Table, "understanding of information application methods in problem solving and inquiry" is required in many subjects, while the number of knowledge, skills, and attitudes such as operating skills, characteristics of information media, and information morality, which correspond to the study of each subject, is high. It was found to be very low. In addition, the relationship between the information use ability and the ability to teach through the learning activities of each subject was clarified.
