This study aims to identify the
characteristics of students who
frequently conduct plant
observations, which is the basis
for the fixed-point observation of
forests, including methods
involving photography. The
significant characteristics of male
students included farm work
experience and niche hobbies such
as camping and lighting a bonfire,
as well as using digital
single-lens reflex cameras for
photography; female students had
relatively niche hobbies such as
enjoying science. Students who
increased the frequency of plant
observations after the lecture
about fixed-point observations of
forests had an inclination toward
social studies and tended not to
use a smartphone for photography.
