This study investigates the understanding of virtue among educational specialists (ESs) and the general public (GP) in Japan. A survey revealed that, unlike ESs, the GP is less familiar with the concept. Both groups hold a positive view of virtue, but their understanding differs. The GP emphasizes passive, emotional virtues (e.g., gratitude), while ESs highlight active, intellectual ones (e.g., practical wisdom). The study highlights the differing interpretations of virtue between these groups, with implications for academic integrity and educational policy.
