Keywords:Geoscience, School education, Terminology

Geoscientific education is mainly programmed in upper secondary school subjects "Geography" and "Earth Science" in Japan. School curriculums are partly unsuitable for advanced geoscience, and tend to be based on multi-standard terminology. Future perspectives on geoscientific education requires a discussion on relationship between geoscience and school education in Japan.
