| Summary |
This survey was conducted to gain information about the actual situation of learning in a broad sense, not restricted to likes and dislikes for study, learning behaviors, study methods and other superficial phenomena but including the stance regarding learning, environment, and learning in everyday life. In addition, the survey items were prepared to grasp longitudinal changes and characteristics between elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. Attention has been paid to the following points so that the survey can be conducted in the future and changes over time can also be grasped. (1) In principle, items have been limited to those that can be asked across elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. (2) To ensure that changes over time are visible, each item has been considered individually so that it can be used with every survey. (3) The survey schools have been selected so that the survey results relate to students in Japan. (4) The second year of junior high school has been selected for the survey because it is thought to be the most stable year in junior high school. |
