Abstract	Based on data gathered and analyzed for the Home Information Technology Study (HITS), which was jointly sponsored by the Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to study informal, nonschool learning in households, this report focuses on the use of computers in home study. The following topics are discussed: (1) availability of hardware and software; (2) use of computers in the home; (3) computers and the users' most important learning activity; (4) learning style preference and computers; (5) awareness of potentially helpful computer programs; and (6) attitudes toward computers as learning aids. Tables include comparisons between the use of computers and the use of other technologies and resources--books/magazines, television, videocassette, records, radio, and audiocassette--by the four age groups surveyed (2-5, 6-11, 12-17, and 18 and over). Comparison is also made between learning style preference and use or nonuse of technology. The percent of each age group that knew about the potential helpfulness of a particular resource is also given, as well as the percent who actually used that resource, and perceived helpfulness ratings are shown for each resource whether or not it was actually used.
