1. The history of science and technology education in Japan shows a segregation between different communities like the history of science, philosophy of science, and science education. 2. The Japanese government determined the academic contents of education through curriculum guidelines and university entrance exams, which did not include the nature of science (NOS) as a subject. 3. As a result, the idea that science is fallible and shaped by human factors was not officially recognized in the Japanese education system, despite being discussed in some alternative media and popular science publications.
