| 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 survey 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 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. |

Second-year students in public academic-course high schools Attribute classification according to advancement to universities (results from March 1990) Super-academic-track schools: number of students accepted to a national university (at least 200, with at least 10 into the University of Tokyo or Kyoto University) Academic-track schools: number of students accepted to a national university (at least 100) Semi-academic-track schools: number of students accepted into a national university (at least 10) Other academic-track schools: types of academic-track schools other than those mentioned above (*The number of students accepted into a national university is less than 10) (Note) As the schools sampled in the first survey were requested to cooperate again, the attribute classification according to advancement to universities from the first survey were reused without change. Accordingly, actual advancement to universities when the survey was conducted may differ slightly. |
