In a lifelong learning society, learning opportunities and outcomes should be ensured for anyone, anytime, and anywhere in responding to learners' willingness and needs, regardless of age, development stage, career, or any other individuality. To realize a society enlivened by learners' activities, we view education and learning as a united system, and established a new field of education and learning science into which educational studies, psychology, and curriculum and instruction sciences are organically integrated.
