Abstract

This research is a case study that discusses researchers' collaboration with instructors in teaching science. As a practical case, a learning community that uses "Concept Mapping Software for Reconstructing Learning Processes (it goes by the name of "Undo-kun")" was selected. To study difficulties in the increasing use of this software, we reviewed its development and past use from December 1998 to December 2005. The learning community using this software has consisted of seven layers of groups. It proved to be important that the fourth-layer group, at a greater distance from the researchers, should play a major role in increasing the present use of this software while collaborating with the first, second, and third layer groups in research and development. We corresponded by e-mail with members of the fourth layer group, and interviewed them. Descriptions of their features and roles have revealed that members of the fourth-layer group ("active group") are increasing the use of this software in educational practice from a different standpoint from the research and development group, while sharing the significance and value of this software with them.
