Abstract(in English) It is important for software engineers to have modeling skills to understand or abstract essence of problems. Exercise-style modeling classes to develop learners' modeling skills are conducted in many higher education institutions. However, learners’ modeling process is still unclear because teachers can grasp it only through assessment and/or evaluation of artifacts submitted by the learners. Therefore, we focus on the modeling process especially the thinking process and develop a tool called "KIfU2.0", which has functions to collect the fine-grained editing and thinking process data of a UML class diagram and replay the class diagram creation process from the data. We apply KIfU to an exercise of the ER modeling and find effectiveness of the functions.
