Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Science teachers have to be engaged in education on the basis of their recognition of future problems of the knowledge-based society. They have to explore the manner of learning that is cooperative and relation-oriented under the fast growing ICT environment. In this study, we developed an online learning system, EPW, which combined knowledge of the various domains with the axes of science and education, using Topic Maps technology. For the purpose of motivating learners to think deeper by the dialogues and reflection, we introduced an avatar-agent system, in which an avatar represented the learner, and an agent represented the system, and the avatar explored learning fields through the dialogues with the agent. In the system, it was found that the learners were encouraged awareness in the science education through the process of showing opinions and mutual commenting.
