Abstract
Two decades from 1960 were the era of educational explosion. Especially in the science education domain, international meetings and collaborations were in full activity. Under these circumstances, in Japan, important decisions were made. Among them: 1) Allotment of the National Grant for Scientific Research to the research of science education, and 2) Formation of the Science Education Committee in the Japan Science Council. These two decisions were of vital importance for the establishment of the Japan Society of Science Education.
