Abstract

It is possible in learning for an impasse to occur during a learner’s trial-and-error process. This is a situation in which a learner cannot make progress in solving a problem because they cannot properly correct an error. In this study, we developed a learning support system for mechanics that helps learners overcome impasses by presenting auxiliary problems based on their errors. This system was implemented in a class of 86 third-year middle school students. To evaluate the problem graph implemented in the system, we analyzed the results of a test that dealt with drafting problems based on the strength of each entry in the results of the class practice. We found that this system was effective for learning gravity, normal force, the net force exerted by external forces, and frictional force from the ground. However, there were problems in learning frictional forces among objects themselves and forces propagating to other objects.
