A study on assistance in acquiring meta-cognition through assorting support methods for comprehension

摘要

So far, various support methods for comprehension have been studied, each of which has its own strong and weak points. We have developed a practical multi media learning environment by assorting these support methods, aiming that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, each other. In this paper, we discuss how the assorted support methods work effectively in assisting for acquiring meta-cognition. Especially, it will be shown that the method of the mutual compensation in assorting texts, ITS and micro worlds is effective for acquiring meta cognition such as assisting learners in self explanation, reasoning, picture drawing, problem solving, error correction, etc.
