Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we focused on learners who are not so good about problem solving skills, and developed a learning method to extend their ability to solve problems. Based on the results of the preliminary tests, the remarkable difference between the outstanding learners and the other learners was the thought necessary for examination from a multilateral viewpoint, that is, "case division".
Based on the above results, we developed the following two types of learning methods to classify cases. One was a relay-type consultation method, and case division was observed in a small group with no outstanding learners. The other is exercises to consider the grounds for the assertion. We could also observe case division by this method.
These results were presented at the conference held in March, 2018.
