An adaptive expert is characterized as the person who has the mental model or the knowledge that enable them to understand each steps of procedure and select adequate ones from possible alternatives. To have the "adaptive expertise", following basic principles, which elicit motivation, are thought as antecedent. That is, engaging in an interaction in dialogue style, having emancipation from a matter of great urgency, belonging to the group that respect understanding itself, and so on.In this research project, we examine whether or not the concept of "adaptive expertise" or the principles that realize it could contribute to organize school lesson, using the subject matter of Mathematics and Sciences. Upper graders of elementary schools are participated in this study.As the result, "adaptive expertise" tends to be promoted when students were motivated to understand through an interaction in dialogue style.Henceforth, we need to confirm if those principles could be effective when we teach the different content area such as social science and when we teach elder students such as junior high students.
