The Society of Biological Science Education of Japan serves as an exploratory hub where the realms of theory and practice in biology education converge. Established officially in 1955, with roots tracing back to 1947, when stakeholders-initiated gatherings, the society has developed over nearly 80 years. Our primary mission is to facilitate the progression and reform of biology education in our nation.

Our diverse membership includes educators, researchers, individuals passionate about biology education, and students, each actively contributing within their respective spheres. The topics covered in biology education are broad, spanning from cutting-edge phenomena in life sciences to familiar living organisms and environments. Research areas within biology education are diverse, encompassing aspects such as teaching material development, curriculum research, classroom practices, educational history, bioethics, environmental education, teaching methods, assessment methods, teacher training, and teacher development programs.

Every year, typically in January, our grand conference comes to life, featuring presentations of groundbreaking research findings, thought-provoking symposiums, and engaging workshops. Furthermore, our leading journal, "Japanese Journal of Biological Education (JJBE)," serves as a showcase for our members' research papers, along with a wealth of materials and teaching resources related to the field.

Our commitment is to promote the continuous improvement of biology education in Japan, aligning with the latest trends in education, and contributing to global discussions on the excellence of science education.
