Abstract

This study used ontology as domain knowledge for generating search terms in order to improve students’ information-seeking performance. It analyzed whether the ontology-based information searching model affects students’ effectively searching for meaningful information to carry out their project in the classroom setting. The experiment results illustrated that the amount of relevant information sought by the ontology-based information retrieval method was significantly greater than that by the existing information retrieval method. The students of the ontology-based information retrieval group reported that the ontology-based information retrieval model helped them to search out information more effectively.
