Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we constructed the system to accumulate the log of learners'
manipulating mathematical content generated by dynamic geometry software and dialogue records when they engage in collaborative learning by manipulating mathematical model, and we tried to analyze the data to elucidate their thinking processes. We developed mathematical content related to calculus, elementary geometry, and mathematical statistics, and experimental studies were conducted with college students as participants. We examined the content operation logs, textual content of utterances, and the quantity of utterances to identify distinctive situations that suggest correlations with thought processes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年ICT技術の教育への応用が急速に進展し、蓄積された学習データの学習支援への様々な応用が試みられている。本研究は探究的な協調学習におけるコンテンツ操作ログと対話記録の時系列的分析から適切な特徴量を抽出することで、学習者の思考過程の変化を把握できる可能性を示唆するものである。これにより、単に事前事後のテストスコアの差分にとどまらず、学習活動中に指導者が探究の状況を把握して効果的な介入を行うための指針を得ることが期待される。
