In this research, our group focused on high school students’ shift of interest in science education and their attitude towards attending college before/after a university-high school collaboration lecture. Lectures given as collaborative programs between university and high schools affected the students’ motivation to study and the tendency to enroll in universities and onto higher education. By having a university lecturer with professional skills teaching in high schools, we verified the impact on students. As a result, by attending the university-high school collaboration lecture, students formally having high interest in science showed higher interest. However, effect on students with relatively low interest stayed low. It revealed that early science education in elementary and junior high school is important for increasing interest in science education. Impact on expanding the high school student’s course choice including the possibility to attend higher education was inferable.
