| Summary | The “Basic Survey on Learning/national survey” has been conducted every five years since 1990 for the purpose of ascertaining the attitudes and behavior of Japanese students regarding learning. This survey asks the same schools to cooperate each time on the almost same question items and is thus able to accurately assess longitudinal changes since 1990. The survey subjects are elementary, junior high, and high school students in metropolitan areas, regional cities, and rural areas. Characteristically, the survey is able to capture differences among regions and levels of schooling. |
