Abstract
Knowledge building is a new approach for students to acquire knowledge which they should involve in group learning and concentrate on creating new ideas and advancing their understandings. This paper introduces a descriptive method for simulating a group knowledge building process. A model of group learning process is simulated first as the base for this study. And then, a generic and a practical model of group knowledge building process are designed and created following. The results could be used for analyzing and designing a knowledge building process for facilitating students’ learning.
