Research considered that the recollections in which accumulated memories of scenes at school might contribute to forming one's view of schools and attitude and attachment to learning. Based on Previous studies, this paper aims to clarify the elements constituting memories of school buildings and scenes at school recalled by adults when thinking back to their school days. The classification and analysis of evaluation structures of scenes in memory and of contents of accumulated memories described by adults resulted as follows:
1) "Playing" scenes are the majority of memorable scenes. It shows that the “playing” plays a very important role in school life. Scenes relating to “leaning,” the main purpose of school, account for approximately 10.9 percent of all the memorable scenes. In addition, scenes relating to other school lives such as lunch time scenes account for few numbers.
2) "places" as an element which remains in memory. And "Natural element" is important which remains in memory
3) "What was in the classroom", and "Light and the scenery from a window" built the impression about a classroom.
