Abstract
This paper presents a new learning model, "BoX(Battle of X)", which is based on a concept from the culture of B-Boys who enjoy the race of "distributed cognition" to win in their contests. The "battle" means a contest and "X" means a course to which our learning model can be applied. The goal of this paper is to present a learning model that allow students to be in a state of learning-flow and provides them with the ability of creative problem solving simultaneously. The key of the "BoX" implementation is to design a principle that controls contests between students to maximize distributed cognitive activities for reducing individual's cognitive load. This paper also presents how-to of "BoX" implementation and its effects. Through the analysis on learning achievement of students during one year course of IT education, we have confirmed that the "BoX" model provides students with higher learning achievement and learning-flow level in comparison with traditional learning model.
