The Purpose of this article is to research the actual condition of animal dissection in science lessons in elementary and junior high schools in Japan. The obtained results are as follows.
1) The execution rate of animal dissection in elementary schools has been about 10% for 10 years or more. As for junior high schools, it has been about 30% in the same time period.
2) Materials of dissection in elementary schools were almost only fish, but materials of dissection in junior high schools diversified, and the majority were frogs.
3) Almost all teachers regard “understanding the structure of an animal’s body” as the main purpose of animal dissection. However, about 25% of students stated it that “understanding the structure of an animal’s body” might not be possible in a dissection class.
4) Reactions of junior high students who dissected an animal were various. As for the distasteful nature of dissection of an animal, boys were stronger than girls.
