In order to assess the influence of discontinuing computer literacy subject, according to reconstitution of education programs from college (3-year program) to university (4-year program), document representation techniques of the first batch students have been investigated. The survey was conducted based on the questionnaire and submitted papers on chemistry laboratory class. Regarding the usage of Microsoft Word, a majority of students knew the techniques about the paragraph formatting such as the indention and the tab setting. Contrarily, the item for the whole document layout, that is spacing setup and arrangement of the figure in a text area, had low awareness. Additionally, in the actually submitted papers, many examples were seen inadequate for the representations concerning the entire document structure like relationship between heading level and paragraph. On the other hand, in the operation of Microsoft Excel, frequently employed in cooperation with Word, two thirds of students did not know. even the presence of basic techniques guided in the College education so far. These results suggest that literacy education focusing on representation techniques and guide to the data processing techniques employing Excel are still needed for freshmen considering that those techniques will be essential for processing graduation thesis in the future.原著Original Paper
