Abstract
A Web_Soc tutoring system for recursion concept
learning is proposed. The system integrates different modes
of learning, synchronous and asynchronous, collaborative and
individualized, into aWorldWideWeb (WWW) environment. The
paper proposes a collaborative learning protocol. Based on the
protocol, the principles of the Socratic dialogue are applied to the
collaborative learning of recursion concepts. In order to evaluate
the effects on learning of the Web_Soc system, an educational
experiment was conducted. The results show that the effects from
the Web_Soc system were more obvious than merely studying
articles.
