    Thinking about the viewpoints concerning elementary school children's learning and life evaluation, and the vocabulary expressible by faculty members as integral, using the feature words extracted from the faculty's findings and "discovering good behavior", bias of the evaluation viewpoint. We examined the feasibility of support to encourage awareness of its resolution. In this regard, we thought that competence formation for faculty evaluation will be made. We compared and verified the proposed method which can extract feature words efficiently and easy from comments. We found that the proposed method extracts feature words comparable to existing methods. And, presenting the feature words by the proposed method to the faculty not only avoid fixation of the observation description, but also suggests the possibility of increasing the repertoire of the vocabulary description. Immobilization of evaluation item is eliminated, and formation of evaluation ability of teacher is expected.

    The purpose of this study is to develop lesson study packages for home economics teachers. These comprise home economics lesson videos and a video sharing system by which the comments of home economics education experts can be viewed in synchronization with the videos. Firstly, we developed VISCO. VISCO is a system by which comments on a video by multiple participants can be shared over the Internet. We then collected videos of home economics lessons given at an elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools and edited them. They were then shared with home economics education experts from teachers colleges and school departments who, using VISCO, made comments on them regarding such things as points of excellence, problems, and advice. These, VISCO and home economics lesson videos, were then packaged as teaching materials and distributed to home economics teachers.

    This research targets the educational practice that teachers feed back comments based on their analysis for each children. It is the purpose of this research to examine an application of text mining to realise supporting their comment writing in such educational practice. While teachers gain experience in writing their comments, unconsciously, they come to use specific words repeatedly in their description. Using text mining, we extract such feature words from comparing their comments between teachers. As a result of experiment on a elementary school teacher, it is suggested that the feature words supports his comment writing.

    In order to achieve the hyper-creative intelligence in technology, we have developed the neural networks based on noise-delayed mechanism, investigating their hyper-complex valued versions and quantum-like descriptions. By doing so, we have proposed the complex-valued stochastic resonance neural network models and qubit circuit ones, which are both appropriate for describing the hyper-creative. We have also found that these models are applicable to intelligent image processing systems.

    In this report, considering the children's learning activities based on Vygotsky's theory of "Zone of Proximal Development", we proposed a model of students' interaction for their knowledge interchanges. Moreover, studying on dynamics of children's learning and development based on the theory of "Legitimate Peripheral Participation", we developed instructional design for teaching and learning of some subjects and "Integrated Study". For the implementation of the above mentioned the concepts and the designs, we developed some systems as cooperative learning environments implemented with Web-DB, which is consisted of server computer-systems for the students' communication and DB system storing learning information of the students. In our learning environment, students can put/remove the tags as the meta-information of their learning information by themselves. Additionally, the client machines can organize/serialize the learning information by using a mechanism implemented with HTML and JavaScript. The Web-DB system implemented with FileMaker and WebCompanion. Also, we prototyped some visualization tools of the students' learning information, and its history and their interaction, and the relationship between the tags. These studies applied our teaching-learning practices in some units of the subjects (ex.a subject of "Integrated Study" in elementary school, national language in elementary school, elementary arithmetics in elementary school, a subject of "Technology and Manufacturing" in junior high school, geography in junior high school). We developed the units and the cooperative learning environment for each unit. In each teaching-learning practice, we developed (electronic) worksheets schema-structured for children's cognition style to the learning contents of the each subjects. Our learning has a scaffolding function for supporting the students' communication with "Connective, Term". Furthermore, we databased the record and the result of analysis of the teaching-learning practice between these two years.

    (1)WebベースのCSCL環境:科学系実験・実習授業に関する大学生の意識調査結果(山際ほか2003)と「平成14年度の研究」の形成的評価をもとに,本研究では西森ら(2003)によって開発されたe-Learning環境構築支援システム「exCampus」を用いて,「eMATE」と呼ばれるCSCL環境を設計し利用した. (2)CSCL発言データ分析システム:授業実践者が学習者の知識構造の変容過程を分析するために,eeMATEの発言データを量的・質的に分析するシステムを開発した(笠井ほか2003).本分析システムはCSCLの発言データを分析するために,「知識カテゴリー」「発言意図カテゴリー」「該当知識」の3つの観点を用意し,それぞれの観点にいくつかのカテゴリーを独自に設定することができる. (3)授業の開発と評価:学習者のリフレクションを促すために,eMATEを組み込んだ実験授業をデザインした.授業を実施し,評価した.評価の際,分析システムを利用した.授業デザイン,授業実施,授業評価,という実践研究を2年度に渡り3回繰り返した.実践の特徴は,1)受講生自身が実験活動をデザインして実施し,その結果をリフレクションするという「思考と活動の循環」を授業に組み込んでいる点,(2)専門家に適宜異なったタイプの参加をしてもらった点にある. (4)CSCL環境を組み込んだ科学系実験・実習授業の教授学習システム要件:実験活動を取り入れた授業において,(1)CSCL環境を利用した学習者主体の思考と活動の循環に,(2)受講生の実態を把握した上での専門家の講義や専門家からのアドバイスを組み込むことによって,受講生が,(1)授業中の実験活動を肯定的にとらえ(SUZUKI et al. 2004),(2)実験が成功する上で必要となる技能的知識に科学的知識を関連づけられるようになる(SUZUKI et al. in press).

    Asynchronous job training and coaching (AJTC) is on-line and off-line learning and training representation, a flexible learning mode for "small office, home office (SOHO)." AJTC is represented by individualized and small group instruction combined with information-technology-oriented instructional tools for job training and coaching. This research examined the field of asynchronous job training and coaching on the Internet for the handicapped in Japan. An initial hypothesis of the asynchronous job training and coaching was that the Internet could enhance quality of job training services and reduce costs without reduction or delivery of job training quality to anyone, anywhere and at anytime including those with multiple handicapped. The researchers also examined the job training and coaching, hardware and software systems available, and the role and skills of job coaches. The researchers considered which technical strategies were best suited for different types of job training for persons with multiple disabilities. Two case studies were introduced including those with multiple handicapped.

    The purpose of this research is to clarify the method for planning and practicing learner-centered school lessons, where learners communicate, collaborate on the network, exchange their knowledge between distant classrooms and solve problems by utilizing learning system that includes internet and multimedia data. Basic mechanism for this purpose create links between a learner and multimedia information distributed on the network : learner's thinking, knowledge, and materials etc.. By using www and database on internet, the mechanism was developed through the examination of technological approaches : HTML with additional tag method and XML(Xlink) method. This environment was expanded for the case that a group of www servers change information by using common gateway interface. New server can join easily the group of www servers. By this mechanism teachers can change the www servers for his school. This mechanism also enables many schools to join easily this learning environment. Learner's activities with multimedia network learning environment as well as the functions of the environment for supporting the activities were listed. In several elementary and junior high schools, learners have been used multimedia network learning environment in lesson hours. The results of each lesson hours, the plan, learning environment actually utilized, learning materials, protocol records were analyzed and reported. At the conclusion of this research, we have proposed new method of school lessons with network in information age.

    About the authoring of hypermedia learning materials for classrooms, a system is formulated on the basis of dynamic link mechanism by developing a method with coherence relations additionally to the order, the various meanings and the case relations. This system enables teachers to construct the multimedia network leaning environment in which learners can take their own learning activities such as collecting information, reading them, making connections with several information sources, presenting their works and communicating with each other. Examples of authoring for hypermedia learning materials are also presented. Furthermore, the mechanism that dynamically links the hypermedia learning materials on networks is discussed. The method of constructing WWW-server with the dynamic link mechanism by applying CGI is proposed. This method can be applied to the internet. On the basis of above results, multimedia network classes in social studies and science were put into practice in elementary, junior high and senior high schools. Eight examples are taken to illustrate multimedia network classes. The consideration for these examples from the aspects of congnitive science and instructional design makes it clear that the dynamic linking mechanism and the authoring method realize the participation-type learning environment that promotes learners'inquiry activities consisting of cultural practice, congnitive practice and social practice. Finally, the procedure for instructional planning and development of hypermedia teaching materials is shown, and the improvement of multimedia network classes is proposed.

    The prupose of this study is to construct an intelligent distributed collaborative learning environment. We embed a computer Companion which is an agent to play a collaborative/competitive peer for a human student in this environment. The human student will be able to get a deep understanding of his/her own ability for problem-solving through observation and reflection by interacting with the computer companion. Moreover we embed a Computer Coordinator agent which monitors and supports students' collaboration processes. In 1995, we concentrated on constructing the Peer Learing Environment which enables a human student to solve a problem with the computer companion. Especially, we constructed a recognizing model which represents a student's state of recognizing the other student's knowledge state. Based on the recognizing model, we constructed a dialogue model for the computer companion, a flexible interface between a human student and the computer companion and a communication process model which represents a process to reach an agreement among multi agents. In 1996, we considered the pedagogical strategies to enhance a human student's ability to monitor the other student's knowledge state based on the recognizing model. Moreover, we contrived an extended agent model, agent communication message and agent communication protocol. Finally we implemented the intelligent distributed collaborative learning environment and evaluated its educational effectiveness.

    Following the plan of prior research, this research focuses on students' interaction among Japan, Korea, and U.S.A.via computer network. Instead of using letters and videotapes, Internet was used for their communication to insure more frequent interactions as well as usage of multimedia. Most of schools in this study had access to Internet except an elementary school in Seoul. A few shools in U.S.A.were capable of using World Wide Web (WWW), which can send both texts and pictures.Others had to get transferred copy of "home pages" from the local universities, who are collaborating with the host university (HUTE). There are no participating middle schools from Korea this time. The Attached Elementary School and Middle School to Hyogo University of Teacher Education had constructed their own "home pages" on Internet, and encouraged other participating students in Korea and U.S.A.Besides, the middle school student had sent e-mail messages to students in the U.S.schools. There were messages back from two schools. These interactions increased interests in intercultural awareness among students in both sides, and Japanese students became committed to use their English ability. However, three problems arose in the process of this study. 1) Because of the language barrier, elementary schools had difficulties with communicating with the other side. It required teachers a heavy load of translating Japanese into English. 2) When was proposed person-to-person communication using pictures on WWW,American parents objected because of the possible use of personal data for criminal action, such as kidnapping. 3) Using students' own interests did not result in well-organized interaction between cultures because some of them lack explanations. Accessible information databases about each other's culture are needed to encourage vigorous interaction and intercultural understandings.

    This research was conducted according to the following purposes : (1) Considering the learner's characteristics of thinking, examine a development method of a teaching material which allows the learner to achieve a deeper understanding. (2) Examine the link mechanism, which corresponds to an intention of the learner's learning activity. (3) Propose an authoring method of a teaching material. (4) Propose a flexible method of lesson planning which reflects the intention of the teacher as well as the educational function of hypermedia. As results of this research, the following conclusions were made. (1) According to educational functions of in hypermedia teaching materials, linking was categorized into 5 kinds : category links, order links, meaning links, case-relation links, coherence-relation links. (2) These 5 characteristics were attached to each card in HyperCard as its attributes. (3) Using these card attributes, a dynamically linked structure was developed. (4) The dynamically linked structure was made into an authoring tool. This made it possible to author a flexible teaching material which corresponds to intentions of both the teacher and a learner. (5) Regarding still pictures and video movies as frequently used materials in the future, a data base construction method was developed, which describes movement contents expressed by still pictures and movie frames based on case grammar, and makes them into a index. This index method can automatically spread links to images in a way which is applicable to most of task or domains. Thus, it is possible to develop teaching materials easily from existing image data. By using this authoring tool, it became possible to achieve the following goals : **Considering the learner's thinking process in inquiring activities. **Incorporating intentions of the teacher as a designer. **Alternating teaching material contents easily. **Planning and conducting a lesson flexibly. Teaching materials of elementary school social studies (Hei-an era in Japanese history ; traditional industries in industrial studies) and senior high school art (paper weight making) were developed and taught, and concrete processes and techniques of lesson planning and practicing were clarified. As a result of this study, a method of utilizing educational functions of hypermedia was established.

    One of the important findings in the previous survey concerning to differences of school children's recognition about their environment in Japan, Korea and U.S.A.was that the answers they gave to the questionnaire might be based fundamentally on the knowledge they have learned in the textbooks, so that as a part of Global Education, we attempted to exchange the video tapes which would give the children more clear realistic images of other students who live in different country, and hopefully we could set up a linkage among them with technological tools such as Internet to promote grass roots international understanding. The contents of the video tape made in Fuzoku (attached) school of Hyogo University of Teacher Education, consisted of two categories, one tried to focus an introduction of the school, and the other to show what the students doing their daily activities and how they were learning. The tapes were presented at assigned classes by the participant researchers, and the response of the students to the video tape were observed by them, and also the students had written a paper to make questions and to give comments to it. The responses showed that students had paid much their attention to the aspects of their cultural differences in day-to-day life, for instance, Japanese students are interested in cafeteria system of lunch, school bus, computer used lesson especially with math, class size, and thick textbooks in American school. On the other hand, much attention of American students was focused on cleaning class rooms and toilets usually made by Japanese students themselves, rules of the same sport. Meanwhile, in Korea, students wearing uniforms aroused interest of the different dresses of Japanese students. We are trying to make more precise analysis of the unique questions. Those questions would provides us important instructional materials to develop global education, and also this survey clearly tell us the most of the students are willing to communicate each their even so they have language barrier.
