| Summary |
The “Basic Survey on Learning” has been conducted targeting elementary school, junior high school, and high school students in Japan 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. This is the second survey and questionnaire items are almost the same as those in the first survey in 1990. The characteristics of this survey are as follows. (1) Shows changes over time The survey has been planned for the purpose of longitudinal investigation, and survey items have been considered so that they can be used with every survey. (2) Allows comparison of the actual state of learning in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools As this survey has survey items that are deliberately in common, changes over time between elementary schools, junior high schools, and high school can be compared. (3) Allows broad appreciation of the actual state of learning (4) Carefully considers the selection of a survey sample The survey schools have been selected in three regions: metropolitan areas, regional cities, and rural areas so that the survey results relate to students in Japan. The fifth grade of elementary school, second year of junior high school, and second year of high school have been selected for the survey because they are thought to be the most stable. |
