Outline of Final Research Achievements

In proactive learning activities such as PBL, discussions among students are important works that effect on overall outcome. Although students should gain experience in discussion to acquire the skills to carry out it, it is difficult for students to fully experience the discussions due to the difficulty of obtaining useful discussion cases. In this research, methods for extracting the discussion cases on social media in accordance with unskilled students' interests and visually presenting them so that students can observe discussion circumstances by themselves were developed. Moreover, a prototype was implemented based on these methods. Consequently, a novel way for fostering the skills to carry out discussions by utilizing familiar potential sources was shown.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

議論経験の積み重ねの重要性が指摘されていたが，参考となり得る事例準備の負担から，これまで困難であった「議論経験を自ら醸成するきっかけとなる事例を示唆する育成方法」を可能とする教育支援充実の意義を有する．

また，学習者の議論経験の不足から生じる問題と，現実的な制約下で有用議論事例を提示する支援の困難さ，という二重構造の課題に対して，身近な潜在ソースを活用し得る形で議論遂行能力育成に挑戦する本研究は，教育工学研究の新たな可能性を提示する意義を有する．
