| Summary |
Children’s environment is changing. The development of electronic media is one of the most significant changes. For example, assuming a 3-generation family, the grandparents are from the radio generation, the parents are from the television generation, and the children are from the electronic media generation. Under such circumstances, how do today's junior high school students utilize various media, and how do they interact with the people and society around them? Further, how should junior high school students prepare to deal with electronic media in the future society? This survey was conducted from these perspectives. |
