The aim of this research is improvement of learning attitude of students. Recently, at the National Commission on Education proposes this and shows the importance of skills of 'acquirement', 'application' and 'pursuit'.

However, with the method this research set, it was possible that students perceive the real world through lessons. In the concrete, the research conducted experiments in math lessons as follows.
One is math lessons at secondary school. The aim was connecting students with real equipment, such as CT scan. The other is math lessons at elementary school. The aim was connecting students with real human relation through bazaar activity.
As conclusion, it can be indicated that students learn more active with topics among real world. Such learning is different from critical reading or abstract of the real world. The research regards this type of learning as holistic material of learning.
