这项研究的国际实验的合作机构是上海交通大学，中国；澳大利亚伊迪丝·考恩大学；韩国梨花女子大学和泰国法政大学。通过实验，项目组开发了一个用于总结性知识构建的系统(概念图软件系统)作为工具。实验结果表明，跨文化使用和只使用日语没有区别，因此，即使在跨文化的情况下，所开发的系统也是有效的。

The partner institutes of the international experiments of this research are Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China ; Edith Cowan University, Australia ; Ewha Womans University, Korea and Thammasat University, Thailand. A system for summative knowledge construction(concept mapping software system) has been developed by the project team as a tool through the experiment. The result of experiment revealed that there is no difference between cross-cultural use and only Japanese use, then the developed system is effective even in a cross-cultural situation.
