The comparative study of knowledge, understanding about the information education, and an affective side was carried out with the students of technical high schools in Japan (Kanto area), Chinese(Dalian)and South Korea (Cheongju city).
The investigation also included general schools. As a result of the investigation, though the intelligibility of the technical high school students of Japan was higher than that of the general high school students of Japan in terms of "the scientific understanding of the information" which is the important element to attain the goal of the information education (information literacy), Korean students showed higher intelligibility than Japanese students no matter whether they were from general high schools or technical high schools.
It was suggested that the curriculum revision about the information education of Japan was necessary.
The examination of the evaluation items of this research was based upon the following theories, that is, B.S. Bloom, et al's education evaluation theory (taxonomy of educational objectives) that examined 'cognitive, psychomotor, and affective' fields closely, and Pellegrino's evaluation theory's three goals, 'evaluation of learners, improvement of teaching processes, and evaluation of learning programs,' and three theoretical outlines of 'cognition, observation, and interpretation,' and thus the investigation was carried out paying attention to its objectivity.
