As harassment, such as power harassment and sexual harassment, in competitive sports has become a serious social problem in Japan in recent years, there is a need to develop educational approaches to protect the integrity of athletes. This study developed educational materials to promote awareness of harassment issues among top athletes and verify the effectiveness of these materials. To help athletes understand their behavior more objectively and to be more aware of what might be perceived as harassment, teaching materials on “sexual harassment” and “power harassment” situations were developed to educate them on perception differences. Then, a training session was conducted with top athletes to evaluate the teaching materials, and pre- and post-questionnaire surveys were conducted for individual and group events. This analysis revealed significant differences in the
mean scores for “awareness of sexual harassment and power harassment” in both individual and group events. In addition, significant differences were found in “relevance of sexual harassment and power harassment to oneself” in the individual category. This suggests that these materials had raised athletes' awareness of the parties involved in harassment issues.

In recent years, several predicaments have affected the sporting world, which has focused its attention on enhancing and preserving sport integrity. Although educational approaches are considered important, the reality of attitudes toward sport integrity remains unclear because of the lack of survey on problematic situations related to sport integrity. The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation and factors of sport integrity attitudes of athletes and coaches by using the scenario assumption method for 10 problems related to sport integrity. The results of the cross-tabulation showed that the sport integrity attitude of "sexual harassment," "violence," and "discrimination/prejudice" was low relative to the 10 troubles. The results of factor analysis suggested that the factor structure of attitudes toward sport integrity was divided according to the clarity of judgment criteria, and that there were two types of situations: situations with clear judgment criteria and situations with unclear judgment criteria. In addition, both players and instructors tended to be more sympathetic to problematic behaviors in scenes with unclear judgment criteria than in scenes with clear judgment criteria.

This study sought to determine the information literacy needed in Japanese school education. Fifty-three employees from two major Japanese IT companies completed a questionnaire focused on the possible information literacy that could be included in future school curricula. The analysis found that “information morality and security” skills were considered the most important and that it would be best to develop these qualities and skills in the early stages of compulsory education.
