A support system for probability learning based on scaffolding approach

An educational course in mathematics usually consists of a system of course units. If a learner does not understand the preceding course units in a mathematical course, he/she may not understand a new course unit. In this study, we have developed a support system for probability learning by which a learner can learn the course units such as “permutation” or “combination”. Scaffolding, one of learning theories, was introduced into the system. A pilot experiment has been also carried out to evaluate a potential of the system. The experimental results indicated that usability of the system was significantly high.
