Developing Authoring Function and CSCL Function of the IAG system and Implementation of Instructional Materials for "Teaching Method of Information Study" as their Application

本研究的目的如下：（1）.为IAG增加创作功能，以鼓励教师在课堂上使用教学活动游戏[IAG]。（二）、改进和扩展IAG的功能，使其成为教师交流思想、评论和课程研究的工具，以改进他们的教案，总结他们在ID任务中的经验。（三）、开发新的IAG对话界面，以便将其用于数学教育等。（四）、为验证新功能的效果，进行了实验。对于（1）和（2），在IAG的两种模式之一的决策游戏（DMG）中，增加了新的教案描述对话界面。此外，定义了描述DMG游戏材料的格式，并将生成DMG游戏板源代码的新功能添加到模拟教学游戏[STG]中，这是IAG的另一种模式。此外，IAG的功能被扩展，以允许课程计划者指定能够访问他/她的课程计划以对其进行评论和建议的个人的范围。关于（3），添加了三个对话界面，例如概念图工具、图形绘制工具和数学公式，并提出了利用这些工具来帮助学习者获得类比思维的教学策略。关于（4），进行了一项实验，以验证这些新功能的效果，这些功能用于将课程计划作为虚拟课程共享，并从共同成员那里接收信息反馈。结果表明，后测的教案质量优于前测。另一项实验也证实了实习教师可以使用创作功能制作IAG教材。

The purposes of this study are as follows:(1). Adding an authoring function to the IAG in order to encourage teachers to use the Instructional Activities Game [IAG] in their lessons.(2). Improving and extending the functions of the IAG so as to be used by teachers as a tool for exchanging ideas, comments, and lesson studies in order to improve their lesson plans and generalize their experience in ID tasks.(3). Developing new dialog interfaces of the IAG in order to use them in mathematics education and so on.(4). Conducting an experiment to verify the effect of the new functions.As for (1) and (2), new dialog interfaces for describing lesson plans were added to the Decision Making Game [DMG], which is one of two modes of the IAG. In addition, the format for describing DMG game materials as on plans was defined and, as well as a new function to generate the source code of the DMG game board was added to the Simulated Teaching Game [STG], which is the other mode of the IAG. Moreover the function of the IAG was extended in order to allow a lesson planner to designate the range of individuals who were able to access his/her lesson plan to comment and advise on it.Concerning (3), three dialog interfaces such as a concept map tool, a graph drawing tool and a mathematical formula were added, and an instructional strategy utilizing these tools was proposed to assist learners in acquiring analogical thinking.Regarding (4), an experiment was conducted to verify the effect of these new functions for sharing lesson plans as virtual lessons and receiving informative feedback from co-members. The result revealed that lesson plans written in the post-test were better than those written in the pre-test. It was also confirmed by another experiment that student teachers could make teaching materials of IAG by using the authoring function.
