Abstract
At Kanazawa University there has been a cross−departmental discussion on the 2006 curriculum of“Introduction to Information Processing,” and as a result, the class called“Introduction to Information Technology”has started since the academic year 2006. Its class content is structured so as to accord with the content of the subject“Information”taught under the high school curriculum. An achievement test called the“IT Literacy Judgment Test”is devised and administered in a certain class session, and once the students pass it, they are exempted from further class attendance. This article reports on what we practiced in the“Introduction to Information Technology”class in the first year, including the trial results of the IT Literacy Judgment Test for more than 1,800 freshmen.
