Knowledge Publishing Method for Knowledge Refinement in Self-Directed Learning

Abstract

In self-directed learning, learners often finish their leaning with insufficient or incomplete knowledge. This is a serious problem for learners because they could not have an opportunity to improve their knowledge. One approach to improve their knowledge is to present their knowledge to others. In our research, we have focused on both of acquisition and publishing processes of knowledge and propose a method to specify and revise the errors of acquired knowledge. In this paper, we describe the method to specify the incomplete or insufficient knowledge through a computerized presentation, the design of a framework and the prototype of our supporting system.
