A proposal on a learner´s context-aware personalized education support method based on principles of behavior science

With the progress of ubiquitous techniques and devices, such as RF-ID and sensors, etc., invisible computers are embedded in one´s life and working environment, such as applicants, furniture, stationeries etc. A ubiquitous network environment provides personalized context-aware services to a user by making good use of ubiquitous techniques such as RF-IDs, sensors, actuators. The services can be considered as an extension of Internet services in a cyber world into the real physical world. As an application of ubiquitous network environment, an ubiquitous learning support environment can provide personalized learning support to a learner according to the learner´s learning situations, in not only Web-based learning environment but also in real world, through the books, text, pens, tables and other objects surrounding him/her. In this paper, we propose a ubiquitous learning method, which is based on principles of behavior science to provide suitable learning support by collecting the learner´s data regarding the learner´s learning behaviors, and provide guidance messages based on analysis of the data.
