Development of a Learning Support System for Visualization and Acquisition of Knowledge through Collaborative Problem Posing

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a learning support system that enables learners to acquire knowledge through a collaborative problem-posing procedure. One of the characteristics of this system is the view function of its knowledge map, which can be used to visualize the domain knowledge acquired by learners in subjects with a well-defined knowledge body such as mathematics, information science, nursing, and medical care. In the present study, we evaluate the effectiveness of the system through visualization of the knowledge map in a class on nursing process theory.
