Abstract

Meta-cognition plays an important role in acquiring expertise and transferring it. We recognize the necessity of building a learning scheme for developing meta-cognitive skills but much knowledge for it has not been acquired. The reason is that it is difficult for learners and instructors to discuss meta-cognitive skills as learning topics since the knowledge for performing meta-cognitive skills is quite tacit, latent and context dependent. Our goal is to build a new learning scheme to support meta-skill learning. In this paper, we firstly describe our basic idea on how to reify meta-cognitive skills as learning topics. We secondly clarify that the presentation task is useful for dealing with meta-cognitive skills as learning topics. Then we finally design a CSCL environment for building meta-cognitive skills.
