    Aims of this paper is to investigate consciousness of senior high school students concerning an information society, and to make clear the influence of the consciousness towards the needs of living information study. In 1997, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 503 senior high school students. 23 items on their views of information life and 31 items on those of information ability were investigated. The data were examined by principal component analysis and multiple regression analysis. It became clear that the view of information life was deeply related to that of information ability, and the latter was more related to the needs of living information study than the former. In order to compose the contents of the living information study at a homemaking class for senior high school students, it was suggested that contents concerning the view of information life and those of information ability were required.

    This study aims to explore the "houshi-teki (Community Service) "activity in FHJ (Future Homemakers of Japan) with descriptive data about participation activities for about forty years (1963-2001). During 40 years or so, its role has become much valued in the course of studies for high school level and the meaning of the "houshi-teki" activity in FHJ has changed gradually not only to community service but also to welfare education activity. Another finding of this study indicated, statistically significant relation-ships between the content of "houshiteki" activities and the series of course of studies revisions are not so clear, though the need for students to develop collaborative leadership skills, family and community roles are more required to FHJ activity.
