Group Learning Environment Based on Hypothesis Generation and Inference Externalization

摘要

This paper proposes a framework of group learning environment based on hypothesis generation and inference externalization. Learners in a group are expected to be aware of other learners' ideas to examine their own ideas through discussion and reflect the inference processes by confirming the result. In order to assist learners, the environment provides functions to externalize learners' inference processes. Furthermore, pseudo students join in discussion to accelerate learners' understanding and activities.
