Description
Summary:This paper describes the effects of a pairing method based on digital textbook logs and learners’ artifacts in conceptual modeling exercises. We developed a digital textbook system called Smart E-textbook Application (SEA) and a conceptual modeling tool called KIfU 3.0 to collect conceptual modeling activity logs in exercises. This study proposes a method that makes pairs of learners for group work by considering the characteristics of the artifacts created by them and digital textbook logs. An initial evaluation was conducted to evaluate the learning effects of our proposed pairing method compared to the random pairing method. From its results, this study found the discussion patterns and digital textbook browsing status in the maximum value of improvement and deterioration points of learners’ artifacts in the conceptual modeling.
