Inquiry-based learning for meta-cognitive training in semantic open learning space

Abstract

This research’s objective is to train learners’ meta-cognitive skills in self-directed learning of history. Learners use a learning environment that provides support and regulates their learning processes using inquiry-based learning. Learners use the system to learn in an open learning space reinforced with semantic information. All the provided support is generated automatically using this semantic open learning space. The support is provided in the form of inquiry questions generated by the system. These questions are designed to direct learners to new information and trigger history thinking.
