This paper described class practice of an energy learning guidance plan for next-generation traffic. This study specifically emphasized the transport sector from a perspective of energy and technology as teaching materials. The plan was to induce students to consider their lifestyle influence based on the latest technology. The author taught 105 high school students and collected worksheets. They reported decisions about next-generation vehicles, climate change strategies, and automatic driving levels. The author obtained diverse responses. Using a text mining approach, this study extracted sentences presented by two or more students from the worksheets. Students’ awareness of energy issues increased, as evidenced by cluster analysis results. This class enabled students to cultivate an interest in science and technology. Furthermore, some reported that they developed ideas about society while considering the environment. An important future difficulty is consideration of contents for sustainability. It is hoped that similar classes will be taught at many schools.
