Research Abstract	This research was an attempt to apply the results of Japanese science literacy research to secondary science education in developing countries. Through collaborative studies with South African researchers on science literacy, common learning modules for teaching primary and secondary children in Japan and South Africa with widely different socio-economic, historical and cultural backgrounds were developed. Research output included a compendium of learning modules for sustainable development education, a report of collaborative research and a video report describing the research process.
