Abstract(in English) In the collaborative learning through network, if the understanding levels of the learners are different and the communication among the learners is ineffective, the learners sometimes cannot attain to their learning goals. In order to deal with such situation, to grasp the learning situation of the group and generate appropriate advices is very important. We focus on collaborative learning of high school-level mathematics. In general, in solving mathematical exercises, the learner often draws diagrams so as to arrange the current learning situation and deduce the derivation method for the next answering step. Therefore, the objective of our research is to construct the advising mechanism of proposing appropriate diagrams which enable the group to derive the next answering step according to the current learning situation. To show the diagram of the group is not to give answers directly but to promote more active discussion. In order to propose the appropriate diagram, our system analyzes the group of the diagram and generates a new supplementary figures dynamically based on the analyzed information. In our approach, stepwise generation of the supplemenrary figures corresponding to each step is regarded as a forward reasoning in the production system. The situation is regareded as the diagrams of the group and the prepared rules are regarded as rules for drawing diagram. So, the diagram for each answering step is generated dynamically by applying particular rules to the current diagram. In this paper, the mechanism for generating the supplementary figures dynamically is shown in detail. Then, the prototype system and its evaluation are discussed.
