Most of the respondents connected with internet more than 1 times per day, but a large number of students were not experienced in using nutrition information of the internet. All groups were using nutrition information of the internet for homework, and satisfaction level of using nutrition information of the internet were an average. Effective methods for acquiring nutrition information of internet were 'educational game' for middle school students and 'bulletin board (Q & A)'for high school students. Moreover the factor analysis for internet nutritional information program's characteristics showed that 'instructing plans','contents of study & technical support','availability'and'interaction'were important considerations for developing internet nutritional information program.

The data were collected by a structured self-administered questionnaire, measuring role expectation and performance that students recognize. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA by SPSS program. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Students' level of recognizing the role expectation was high(M=4.08) and level of the role performance was moderate to high(M=3.50) within range of 1 to 5. The students recognized role expectation greater than role performance. 2. The students' point of view for role expectation and performance for school health educators were related to several characteristics of students and school health educators. Students' levels of recognizing the role expectation and performance were higher when students were male, healthy, their academic performance was high, their level of satisfaction with their school life was high, and their level of satisfaction with using school health office was high. With characteristics of School health educators, students' level of appreciating the role expectation was higher when educators were of an older age and had a long career, and when they were fairly satisfied with their job as an educator. Students' level of recognizing the role performance was higher when educators were of a younger age, and had a small number of students at school. This indicates that there exists role conflict on students and implies that the conflict needs to be mediated, and desirable solutions to address the conflict need to be developed by school health educators.

이 연구는 독서역할모델인 부모, 교사, 친구가 고등학생의 독서몰입, 독서만족, 독서지속의지에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 개인적 특성인 성별, 고등학교 계열, 학년에 따라 달라지는 영향력의 차이를 분석하였다. 연구결과 고등학생의 독서에 가장 영향을 많이 미치는 역할모델은 친구로 나타났으며, 남학생보다는 여학생이, 인문계열보다는 전문계열의 학생들이 친구의 영향을 더 많이 받았다. 부모요인은 남학생, 고등학교 3학년 및 인문계열 학생에게 상대적으로 더 많은 영향을 주었다. 반면, 교사의 경우 인문계열 학생보다 전문계열 학생들에게 영향을 더 주는 것으로 나타났으나, 영향력은 미미한 수준이었으며, 대부분의 요인에서 영향을 주지 못하였다.
