Abstract

Our research objective is to organize existing learning strategies and systems to support the development of learners’ metacognitive skill. It is difficult to organize them because the term metacognition itself is mysterious and ambiguous. In order to achieve the objective, we first organize activities in cognitive skill and metacognitive skill. It enables us to reveal what activity existing learning strategies and systems support as metacognitive skill or what activity they do not support. Next, we simplify existing learning strategies and systems by ontology. It helps us to understand what of learning strategies and support systems is respectively different, and what of them is respectively similar. It will contribute to a part of an instructional design process.
