Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the consumer education of high school home economics, content related to credit and malicious business is the main. And, awareness of high school students is high. However, since the recognition of a problem related to the self was low, and practice a lesson that incorporates the "assertion training" as a way to improve the decision-making power to the agreement on the issue.
