This paper presents a pilot study for the testing of the Did@browser system, a tool developed for supporting the knowledge construction process of students during their studies on educational hypermedia. The system adopts a strategy of posing metacognitive questions and receiving answers from students in order to improve their awareness in their surfing abilities and cognitive strategies used during the learning process on the Net. The paper will describe the tools used, the experimentation carried out with the students and the relative evaluation of the results.

Abstract

This paper presents a pilot study for the testing of the Did@browser system, a tool developed for supporting the knowledge construction process of students during their studies on educational hypermedia. The system adopts a strategy of posing metacognitive questions and receiving answers from students in order to improve their awareness in their surfing abilities and cognitive strategies used during the learning process on the Net. The paper will describe the tools used, the experimentation carried out with the students and the relative evaluation of the results.
