“…To that end, three schools in Japan were selected: the first, a high school with its own dedicated environmental learning program (from here on, referred to as "High School A"), one that conducts specialized education in industry and industrial systems, including learning about environmental problems, ("High School B"), and one dealing with issues relating to the natural environment and environmental problems as part of science and social studies classes, without a separate program ("High School C"). We chose to conduct the survey in high schools because Otsuka and Saito [40] found that high school students' conceptions of learning were more diverse than those of university students. By surveying high school students, it was determined that the data related to conception of learning could be more comprehensively confirmed.…”
