In order to effectively perform education regarding intellectual property in higher education, it is important to gauge the knowledge and interest of the learners and create a curriculum that reflects this. In this research, we attempted to interpret the attitudes toward intellectual property studies of students majoring in science, with the objective of proposing a learning model that considers the learning needs of the learners. In order to understand the conditions of the learners, we performed qualitative research and analysis regarding the interest and awareness of learners toward intellectual property, based on free response comments by the learners. For the analysis, based on the data obtained, we performed data mining (text mining) on the comments regarding the learners' interests and attitudes toward intellectual property. We used co-occurrence network analysis for our analysis. As a result, regarding the learning content of intellectual property, we were able to suggest the necessity of performing organized studies of cultural content, such as copyrights, and industrial intellectual property, such as patents.
