Description

In this study, we have enhanced a concept mapping software for reconstructing learning processes. The new function is the bookmarking function. This function enables the user to mark a point of choice in the concept mapping process and saves that point on the computer. The software is expected to further support learners' reflection and dialogue as follows : (1) provides easier access to the chosen focusing points in the thinking process, (2) facilitates self-awareness of the learner's thinking process by playing back only the bookmarked point, and (3) supports the learner in explaining his/her thinking process to others by playing back only the bookmarked point. To evaluate the effectiveness of the software, we conducted an experiment in laboratory settings. The results of (a) measurements of time to display the points, (b) analysis of utterances in explaning the thinking process, (c) a questionnaire-based survey show that the bookmarking function provides easier access to focusing points, facilitates self-awareness of the thinking process and supports explaining the thinking process to others.
