Building Models for Cultivating Ways of Viewing and Thinking in Each Subject Area and its Application to Simulated Teaching Games

本研究提出了培养数学、信息研究和科学问题解决能力的游戏教材的学习者模型和设计框架。所提出的模型和设计框架由特定领域的知识、每个主题领域的观察和思考方式以及解决问题的脚本知识组成。在设计框架的基础上，开发了许多游戏材料，如数学中的基于问题的学习、科学中的探索性学习，并进行了试验课程，以证实其教育效果。作为课程的结果，学生能够培养他们将每个学科领域的学习成果用于日常生活的态度。此外，我还重新设计了虚拟课堂游戏，通过引入学习者模型来帮助数学和信息学教师改进课程，帮助他们了解知识和思维方式是如何影响问题解决过程的。

This study proposed learner models and design frameworks of gaming instructional materials for cultivating problem-solving ability in mathematics, information studies, and science. The proposed models and design frameworks consist of domain-specific knowledge, ways of viewing and thinking in each subject area, and script knowledge of problem-solving. Based on the design frameworks, many gaming materials, such as for Problem-based Learning in mathematics, Exploration Studies in science, were developed and trial lessons for confirming their educational effects were conducted. As the results of the lessons, students were able to develop their attitude of utilizing the learning outcomes of each subject area for everyday life. Moreover, I re-designed virtual lesson games to assist mathematics and information studies teachers in improving their lessons by introducing the learner model for helping them to understand how knowledge and ways of thinking affect the problem-solving process.
