Goal Transition Model and Its Application for Supporting Teachers based on Ontologies

In Japan, the “Period of Integrated Study” program to enhance practical skills began in elementary and secondary education in 2002. Most goals of this program involve meta-ability, which cannot be fully learned by traditional Japanese instructional methods. For this reason, it is necessary and important to provide instructors with a powerful help system that can locate and provide access to a variety of useful information resources. To this end, we built a system that reconstructs the resources according to various viewpoints based on Semantic Web technology. Further, we propose Goal Transition Model to show a skeleton of the transition of instructional goals based on ontologies. And we propose support functions that are used in the model.
