Since “social responsibility" is crucial in producing high-quality work. This study examines the effectiveness of learning using media materials focusing on research integrity fostering a sense of social responsibility. The subjects were 30 first-year medical students taking the “Science and Society” class using the Japanese version (JST) of THE LAB, a tool developed by HHS and ORI in the US. Students learn the characteristics of scientific research in a drama format through role-play. Four-choice response and free description were used to measure changes in learners’ awareness before and after the lessons. With a response rate of 100%, pre- and post-lesson changes are shown as percentages (before→after). (1) Degree of interest in research misconduct and social responsibility: high 9%→36%, fair 36%→50%, slight 50%→14%, none 5%→0%. (2) Awareness of research misconduct and social responsibility: high 5%→32%, considerable 27%→41%, slight 55%→23%, none 14%→5%. (3) Explanation of background and reasons for research misconduct: good 0%→18%, fair 32%→73%, average 55%→9%, poor 14%→0%. (4) Proposal to prevent research misconduct: good 0%→14%, fair 41%→77%, average 41%→9%, poor 18%→0%. (5) Ability to explain how scientific papers should be written: good 0%→9%, fair 14%→73%, average 68%→18%, poor 18%→0%. It can be said that media materials to teach social responsibility was found to be highly effective. It led to positive perspectives about future education and learning.
