Abstract :
In this paper, a knowledge exploration assistant system for inquiry-based learning is proposed to support students when inquiry-based learning is conducted. The proposed system provides students with instant assistance with proper knowledge materials and knowledge exploration functions during their learning process. In addition, students´ learning history is automatically recorded by the proposed system. A field experiment was undertaken on the freshman course “Computer Science”. The experimental results showed that the proposed system improved the students´ learning achievement.
