| Research Abstract |
The project team was composed of 15 researchers from different universities and college, deviding them into four groups. In 1994, Group A conducted a survey on textbooks used in upper secondary schools and revieled that there is no coherent and continuity of the curriculum 'Information Technology'at the upper secondary level. Three curricula were developed by other three groups ; 'IT as a Literacy', 'IT for Letterature oriented students' and 'IT for Science oriented students'. The first drafts of these curricula were distributed to concerning experts of the local boards of education and leading teachers to collect their opinions on the contents and structures of curricula. Referring to the analyzed conclusion, the drafts were revised and improved in the next year. 'IT as Literacy' was widely welcome and accepted among teachers to be suitable as a new curriculum. On the other hand, 'IT for Science oriented students' was partly criticized due to its high level of contents. In spite of such criticism, three curricula were accepted as the first comprehensive information education at the upper secondary school.
