The high-level fusion of advanced technology and society, which is currently in progress, will bring about major changes in education. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology proposed a change in the way of learning at the “Minister’s Meeting on Human Resource Development for Society 5.0”. In order to consider what kind of qualities and abilities “co-production” will develop for cooperative study in junior high school art department in the age of Society 5.0, I consider co-production and project-type subject matter extracted from 159 books, 3184 themes published by each of the three current textbook companies based on each course of study (51 books published by Kairyudou Publishing, 54 books published by Nippon Bunkyo Publishing and 54 books published by Mitsumura Books from 1954 to 2016), and I graph the change of the ratio. In particular, as a result of comparing the textbooks of the 1955’s and the present, it becomes clear the importance has increased for joint productions that renew one’s own values by interacting with others and project-type subjects whose activities are open to society.
