知識の物理世界での実践を通して他者との議論を促進するグループ学習支援システム

抄録

A traditional teaching method is useful in that it can effectively transfer knowledge from teachers to students. However, in this method, students are regarded as passive recipients of knowledge, and they are not well motivated for and engaged in their learning. CSCL (Computer Support Collaborative Learning) , that has begun to attract considerable attention recently, is aimed at raising motivations by allowing learners to discuss and interact actively. This paper proposes a system that integrate physical and virtual worlds with advanced information technologies. The system is used for supporting group learning. An example of practice in an elementary school is also described.
