学習経験の抽象化と汎化によるメタ学習プログラム

抄録

It is important to activate meta-learning, in which learners learn metacognitive knowledge from their own learning experiences. In this study, we address the research question, “What is the appropriate learning scheme that promotes the learning experience of deepening understanding, which is a requirement for the discovery of metacognitive knowledge to read what is not written explicitly, and leads to discovery construction of metacognitive knowledge from the experiences?”. We propose an educational program to raise awareness of meta-learning by promoting learning experiences that deepen understanding through adaptive interventions that direct learners' attention to the needs for further reading, and by promoting metacognitive knowledge construction through abstraction and generalization of their own learning experiences. Through practice of the program, we confirmed three points. First, the program promotes learning experiences of deepening understanding and encourages metacognitive knowledge constructing activities. Second, the learners make the self-evaluation of meta-learning activities stricter with self-efficacy through this program. Third, the learners’ awareness of meta-learning was maintained even after three months of the program.
