Development and Evaluation of a Reflection Support Method Adaptive to Learning Contexts Utilizing Text-Generative AI

Abstract

Students need to acquire competency through reflecting on their learning and applying their insights to the subsequent learning. Utilizing written reflections is expected to provide students with adaptive facilitation that aligns both with the reflection itself and with the context of the learning. However, it is difficult to provide adaptive facilitation according to the context. The purpose of this study is to provide adaptive reflection facilitation according to the learning context. Specifically, we developed a reflection support method that is adaptive to the learning context utilizing text-generative AI, along with a reflection support system that operates based on this method. Evaluation of the proposed system showed that it can generate reflection prompts composed of phrases that are appropriate for the learning context. And it was showed that providing these generated reflection prompts can help encourage students to further focus on and delve deeper into the content of their own reflection.
