Abstract
Mini-München is a city planning game for children, which was created in Germany. Since its creation, it has been the subject of various research projects. However, the game’s image map has not received any research attention.
The research presented in this paper used a questionnaire survey to explore Kid’s Town KYOYAMA 2017, which contains some elements of consumer education. Using the image map from the consumer education system as a survey index, questionnaires were administered to game participants, staff, and guardians.
The following results were obtained:
(1) Kid’s Town KYOYAMA 2017 presents multiple opportunities to achieve the image map goal
and is an effective means of consumer education for elementary school students. (2) Following participation in Kid’s Town KYOYAMA 2017, the degree of child achievement
was greater than 80% with regard to all items on the image map.
(3) The effects of consumer education were sustained up to one month after the event.

From 2022, adolescents will be considered adults at the age of 18 and will be able to enter into various "contracts" on their own. General insurance is deeply relevant to university life. However, it is not taught in school. Therefore, in this research, we conducted a class practice and a questionnaire survey for university students. The results showed changes in the content of consciousness / knowledge survey and free description before and after the class. Moreover, an improved understanding of learning contents / learning significance and awareness was observed. We intend to explore learning content and methods to make use of this research in classes and lessons in the future.

I conducted OPPA(One Page Portfolio Assessment)for consumer education in the first year of university. The first step of my research method was conducting a bibliographic survey on the theory of OPPA, after which OPP learning sheets were utilized in classes from April to July 2018. Class improvements were made based on the students’ answers on OPP learning sheets, and further analysis through text mining of the answers before and after learning was made. The number of consumer citizen society-related keywords increased after the class and their relevance also became higher. The OPPA enables us to grasp changes in students’ learning, so I consider it effective for class improvement.

This paper proposed and practiced lessons on consumer citizenship and sovereign in both home economics and civics at high school. The key word is “consumer citizenship” and “sovereign” in both these lessons. Guidance plans were discussed and developed in the cooperation with specialists and food choices in home economics and consumer-related law in civics were dealt with. Before the lessons on home economics, students bought goods and services keeping only themselves in mind; however, after the lessons, they realized that their consumption is closely related to the environment, economy, and global society. They also understood the importance of raising their voices to change the society after the lessons on civics. After these lessons, the students realized the purpose of the lessons and the importance of education for consumer citizenship and sovereign education.

In this study, we developed online learning materials with the aim of improving the scientific literacy of consumers, and verified the effect in Randomized Controlled Trials using crowdsourcing. Ten useful conditions were found to distinguish science from pseudo-science based on knowledge of scientific philosophy and science sociology. Three of these, Repeatability, Predictability and Public Openness, were selected as learning concepts. The result of the study showed a significant understanding for "concept explanation + developed material" for every condition, compared with "concept explanation alone". The maximum effect size of 0.54 was obtained for Public Openness, which suggests certain effectiveness in online learning of this concept.

In this study, a causal model was designed based on a two-phase decision-making model of
environmental conscious behavior (Hirose, 1994); this was supplemented by a constructive concept
of actual behavior, the inclusion of which is necessary to reduce household food wastage. The
causal model of associations from goal intention through behavior intention to actual behavior was
evaluated for its suitability to the data on general household consumers, using a covariance structure analysis.
A causal relationship was observed leading from goal intention through behavior intention to
actual behavior. The determinants of goal intention may be risk perception and perception of coping
efficacy. The determinants of behavior intention may be the participant’s evaluation of feasibility
and social norms.

The purpose of this study is to find the assertion debate lesson of active learnings for rearing
“consumer citizenship” under revolutionary social changes including forming information and
advanced AI. In this thesis, we defined the self-reliance of consumers who assess information, reconstruct their own opinion and act for their own well-being and quality of life(QOL) through
proactive action as a “consumer citizen”. For assessment, we applied this lesson to 6 senior high
school 1st grade home economics classes(240 students) in 2017 and 2018. We found that the
assertion debate lesson promoted proactivity in the students, and improved their ability to assess
information and re-construct their opinions.

This paper explores the development of a finance support system for consumers. It has been
reported that financial education has not been disseminated among consumers owing to a lack of
both time and teachers. This system adopts three approaches to the problems. First, it focuses on
the participation of specialists, as there is a lack of advisors in the education system. Second, an
online network system will help people who do not have enough time. The final approach is that
consumers themselves will help each other in using the system. Before starting to develop the
system, we explored what consumers wanted, using a questionnaire. We made sure the responses
were anonymous.

The purpose of this study was to clarify how education about morality was strengthened in
Australian schools as the basis of consumer legal literacy. As a result, this research revealed that
moral awareness, which is the foundation of consumer legal literacy, is firmly fostered in school
education, where national curriculum is designed for education goals to encourage students to
prepare to become consumer citizens and take responsibility for their actions. Ethical understanding
is one of the seven general skills to be fostered in school. A well-ordered educational system, which
includes comprehension of the concept of morality and reflection of ethical behaviors, has been
established, providing diversified curriculums and subjects.

This study aims to clarify the problems faced by local governments in appointing “coordinators
for consumer education” to improve consumer education.
The findings regarding the problems faced are as follows: the personnel appointed by the
local government for coordinating with the school (1) were mostly membership of teachers or
(2) members of the administrative section of the local government, who could not coordinate
effectively between the school and the local government; and moreover (3) the local government
did not have a budget for appointing a suitable candidate.

The number of consultations filed by young people with the Kyoto Prefecture Consumer Affairs
Centre is increasing annually. Moreover, this proportion is higher than the national average, and
the number of consultations rapidly increases as they reach adulthood. To ensure that young people
do not incur or inflict harm, a new form of consumer education, aimed at fostering ethical values,
is necessary, along with the educators needed to deliver it. Accordingly, the purpose of this study
is to elucidate educational methods for fostering independence based on efforts to train university
students as consumer leaders.

From a consumer education perspective, this study examined the learning effect of educational
farming planning and program management, using interviews and questionnaire surveys. As a
result, conducting planning and management (1) brings about remarkable changes in consumer
behavior, (2) enables one to think from the producer’s perspective and influence others with such
perspective, and (3) provide awareness of the whole process to the consumers, from production
to consumption, even at work. The results suggest that engaging in planning and management of
educational farming program can lead to the development of a “consumer citizen leader.”

At present, there is a great deal of discussion amongst medical providers and staff on how best
to support healthcare decisions made by patients and their families. However, decision making is
established through collaboration, so the decision-making power and rights of the patients is also
important.
This paper aimed to explore the collaborative nature of decision making, and identify the factors
necessary for training medical decision-making literacy. Document analysis and text mining of
research on decision-making support made for medical staff was conducted in order to identify
important factors. Furthermore, the characteristics of medical consumers’ decision-making was
analyzed through group discussion transcripts. Based on these methods, it was ascertained that
medical consumers, (1), correctly interpret the information and advice given by medical staff,
and, (2), accurately convey relevant facts known only to them to medical staff during the decision
making process. Therefore, it is suggested that in order to foster decision making literacy, it’s
necessary to capture and promote both the receiving and sending of information within these two
central processes.

Given the diverse range of problems affecting daily life that arise from household financial
consultations with poor people—such as precarious living conditions resulting from partial
unemployment, or disordered lifestyle habits deriving from dysfunctional family relationships—an
effective response from a social work perspective would be a consumer education program. A
practical suggestion would be the creation of a framework and support program to strengthen the
individual’s capacity for self-determination.

The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether learnings from a consumer education
curriculum were successfully transferred, whether this led to behavior modification (level 3 of the
Kirkpatrick Model), and to clarify the factors behind such transfer.
Results of a questionnaire given to students seven months after the curriculum ended showed
transfer of learning in 31.8% of respondents. Home-based factors that promoted behavior
modification were the guarantee of opportunities to apply new learnings and the support of those
around them. A personal factor was the students’ satisfaction with their lifestyles, upheld by good
relationships with others and non-cognitive skills such as self-affirmation. Such curricula need to
incorporate home-based factors that encourage behavior modification and focus on students’ noncognitive skills.

Although active learning in consumer education has already been put into use, the effect has not
yet been tested. In this research, focusing on consumer education for the elderly, we first aim to
empirically examine whether active learning is effective in acquiring knowledge and information.
The results of the survey, which was conducted as a financial education lesson for the elderly,
revealed that active learning was more effective in acquiring knowledge and information than
lectures. Moreover, it was revealed that the effect of active learning is greater when the students’
level of understanding and involvement in the educational content is lower.

Based on how senior citizens’ thought process about transfer fraud, I developed "Daredemo
Karuta: the Usodenwa-Sagi version." I verified that Karuta can be used as a self-study teaching material to gain knowledge about transfer fraud even without any prior knowledge on the subject.
In addition, it was found that mutual learning could be achieved by utilizing the back of the Karuta.
Using this Karuta in intergenerational exchanges could solve the problem of "transfer fraud" and "community creation" for the super aged society of the future.

Consumer education for students in university days is of importance in cultivating citizens
who behave responsively as autonomous consumers and contribute actively social evolution. A
questionnaire regarding change in consciousness and expected behavior was performed toward
students following a lecture that outlined the initiatives of various enterprises.
University students, who have realized enterprises’ efforts to reflect consumer voices in the
improvement of products and services, have a notion to willingly voice their opinions to businesses.
Thus, these classes should not only be consumer citizen education but also lead to cultivate
professionals with next-generation consumer perspectives.
This study describes the effectiveness and importance of mutual understanding and collaboration
between consumers and businesses for future society.

Independent consumer action may lead to the construction of a sustainable society. During a
class about consumer food choices in home economics, students studied “food information” cards,
which listed information about a product’s environmental impact, economic cost, and producer
impact. We then compared students’ survey responses about the purpose of shopping, before the
class, immediately after, one month later, and one year later. Students’ descriptive responses were
categorized as relating to “the environment”, “the economy”, “human happiness and changing
society”. We analyzed the change in responses. The percent who remembered information about
ethical consumption increased by about 9% both after one month and one year, suggesting that
creating opportunities to remember the lesson raises awareness of consumer behavior to change
society.

This study analyzes and verifies the opportunities for consumer education for 18- to 25-year-old
non-students by focusing on their occupation attributes. The unemployed and housewives tended
to be educated on the Internet, rather than at consumer affairs centers. Moreover, the employed,
such as company employees and part-time workers, tended to be educated at the workplace. These
results show that for employed individuals, opportunities to continually receive consumer education
should be offered at the workplace through cooperation between companies and the government.
