Abstract

Using handheld devices in educational environmentshas begun to be recognized as suitable. Due to the drasticrevisions in Japanese curriculum standards forelementary school children, new theories, systems andpractices to support children in their learning arerequired. Therefore, we focused attention on sciencemuseums, which are different learning environments fromschools. In this paper, we propose a system called Musex,which is used to support children in learning andexploring collaboratively in a museum with two PDAs(Personal Digital Assistants). Through Musex, childrencan collaboratively challenge some questions which arerelated to exhibitions. Solving the questions let childrenpay their attention to exhibitions naturally andunderstand contents of exhibitions more. We evaluatedthe system in a Japanese science museum and confirmedits effectiveness.
