本論文は，既知のドメイン知識とハイパーメディアを使った自己調整学習との関係を調査するために行った実験について報告している．実験では，49人の大学学部生に循環システムに関するプレテストを行い，その後，同じく循環システムに関するWebページをThink aloud法で40分間読解するという課題を実施した．この課題は，被験者によって行われる特定の自己調整学習のプロセスを計測するために実施された．実験の結果，既知のドメイン知識は，ハイパーメディアを使った自己調整学習と有意に関係することが分かった．特に，既知のドメイン知識は，被験者の監視と計画という行為には正に相関し，戦略には負に相関することが判明した．
注目フレーズ
- Research using CI(Construction Integration) model has demonstrated that students with domain-specific prior knowledge are better equipped to understand challenging topics, especially science related topics presented in textbooks.
- Research using theoritical MDL(Model of Domain Learning) approach to domain learning has found that learners with more developed subject-matter knowledge tend to use advanced strategies during learning, while learners with limited subject-matter knowledge tend to approach learning by initially developing a conceptual framework of the domain.
- When learning with hypermedia, students can access any node and in multiple sequences, depending on various factors such learning goals and prior domain knowledge.
- Research has demonstrated that students with higher prior domain knowledge learn differently with hypermedia environment thatn students with lower prior domain knowledge.
- Students need to manage a high degree of control in order to effectively navigate through hypermedia because this environment allows students to choose which information to access
- Navigation within hypermedia is, in part, dependent on an understanding of the conceptual structure of the domain. This understanding guides students' interaction with non-linear nature of hypermedia. Thus, students who have limited understanding of the conceptual structure of the domain have little to guide their interaction with hypermedia, which explains why students with lower prior domain knowledge have more difficulty navigating in this environment.
- Recent Research has found that when students are learning in an environment with multiple representations and non-linear information they need to self-regulate certain aspects of their learning.
- Self-regulated learning(SRL) involves actively constructing an understanding of a topic/domain by using strategies and goals, regulating and monitoring certain aspects of cognition, behavior, and motivation, and modifying behavior to achieve a desired goal.
