Students' utilization of personal computers (PCs) in preparing papers on chemistry laboratory class has been investigated. The students had finished computer literacy class, and practice in drawing chemical structures using PC in the following chemistry class. Generally, 70% of the students have processed papers using PC to more or less extent. Among them, PC was frequently utilized in processing text and tables. On the other hand, the rates of utilization for drawing graphs or chemical structures were extremely low. It is assumed that ; 1) the students used handwriting for processing complicated text part such as mathematical equation, 2) they are not experienced to use software programs for drawing graph and chemical structures, and 3) a software for drawing structures has not been installed in their own PCs. Some students pointed out that handwriting does not depend on the working situation-they can write down immediately when they get some hints for such as the discussion part, even in the absence of PC. It is concluded that the students combine PC and handwriting efficiently to prepare papers within a limited time.Personal computerComputer literacyPapersLaboratory classChemical structures
