| Research Abstract |
The following results were obtained. First, the view and the affairs concerning environments of high school students were investigated. It is clarified that there is a great difference between male and female students in their recognition of environmental problems. It also appeared that the behavior to preserve an environment is brought by becoming concerned with the environmental problems and discussing environmental subjects with family members or friends. Secondly, four computer softwares for the environmental education were developed. They are 「My daily life and our earth」 Introduction , 「My daily life and our earth」 Learning, 「My daily life and our earth」 Practicing, 「What water is good? 」. The softwares were used in the environmental education in high school to analyze the effectiveness and the limitation of computer-assisted life education with the softwares. it is clarified that the softwares were efficient in the environmental education in home economics regardless of the affairs of students concerning environments. Moreover, by comparison of the school lessons conducted by a teacher with those of free learning, the role of a teacher appeared to be significant even in the computer-assisted education. Finally, the softwares were modified by considering the results obtained in this investigation.
