Presentation Based Learning Support System to Facilitate Meta-Learning Communications

Abstract

As described in this paper, we propose a presentation-based meta-learning scheme. First, we introduce the design rationale of our meta-learning scheme by introducing our conceptualization, which clarifies the kind of support to facilitate meta-learning that is embedded into our learning scheme. Secondly, we present support functions that we embed into the system. Thirdly, we conduct experiments to verify the meaningfulness of our learning scheme, which suggests the system can stimulate learners’ reflection on their learning processes. Furthermore, it can stimulate learners’ meta-learning communications. Results show that users tightened their criteria to evaluate their own learning processes and understanding states. It is useful for learners to facilitate change in their learning processes.
