INTERNET USAGE AMONG FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS

Abstract

Data from a 1999 survey of FCS professionals were used to determine exposure to and use of the Internet within the field. Overall, the majority of FCS professionals are using the Internet and e-mail. Significant differences in Internet usage were found between those aged 60 and over and those under 60 for educational use of the Internet. Significant differences were also found between white and non-white respondents for e-mail usage and participation in chat groups. FCS educators were more likely than non-educators to use the Internet, including e-mailing, surfing to explore the Internet, and other educational, informational, and communication activities on the Internet.
