The aim of this study is to connect and structure digitally archived materials and students' 'questions' in inquiry learning.
As a method to achieve this, a "curation learning" method was developed in which students deepen their learning through the collection of materials based on their own "questions". In this process, the national cross-disciplinary search platform "Japan Search", which enables cross-search of metadata from a variety of sources, was used to enhance the comprehensiveness of the learning materials, and to designing a "collaborative curation function" with the developers to support the connection and structuring of 'questions' and materials in collaborative learning, so that multiple users can curate while retaining the metadata.
As a result of the continuous practice in primary and junior high schools, it was shown that independent learning based on one's own 'question' was generated, and the ability to construct opinions based on materials collected in line with the 'question' was improved, and the connection and structuring of students' 'questions' in inquiry learning with a variety of digitally archived materials was promoted.
