Abstract

This paper focuses on communication between students and their supervisors concerning students' research ideas. Throughout the cognitive apprenticeship starting with those communications, students learn their supervisors' acuity of vision (e.g. good judgment about what is important, his/her ability to find the problem domain which will become important in the future), attitude as a researcher, and exacting evaluation criteria. For students, as research novices, refining their own vague research-concern to a research idea is a hard task. It is necessary for the novices to change their vague interests into concrete ones, in order to express their interests in some way to their supervisors. We consider how we can construct a support method to formulate a research idea in terms of the communications and the concretizing. In particular, we investigate how students should express their own research-concern, how we should show the key concepts for students' expressions, and what key concepts are suitable for the expression-process, through experiments and a concept analysis based on the ontology engineering approach. In this paper, we provide the procedure to construct an external representation of a research-concern and the pre-editing method we developed, and discuss analyzable cases and the un-analyzable case.
