Abstract
The students who took Information Study in high school entered universities in 2006, and many universities have taken measures and reorganized their curricula in information education. In Hirosaki University, which also has reorganized its curriculum in information education, however, the registration pattern of these students shows apparent deviation from the aim of the reorganization. To investigate the discrepancy, we conducted an questionnaire survey. And the result suggests that there is a difference between the students’ conception of information education and the teachers’ conception of information education. The students expect that the information education should provide basic skills of writing reports and making good presentations. The teachers expect that the information education should improve students’ computer literacy abilities. This difference may cause the discrepancy between the curriculum reorganization and the registration pattern.
