The development of teaching materials in line with the cognitive mechanisms of the learners

本研究旨在厘清学习者在学科学习中理解与解决问题的认知机制，并开发符合其认知机制的教材。在本研究项目中，重点关注两个因素；一种是转换知识表示的知识操作，另一种是用具体对象代替抽象符号的物化。实验结果揭示了这些因素在学科学习中对学习者理解和解决问题的有效性。

The purposes of this research project were to clarify thelearners’ cognitive mechanisms of the understanding and the problem solving in thesubject learning and to develop the teaching materials in line with their cognitivemechanisms. In this research project two factors were focused on; ne was the knowledgeoperation that transforms a knowledge representation and the other was thematerialization that replaces abstract symbols with concrete objects. The results ofexperiments revealed the effectiveness of the factors on learners' understanding andproblem solving in subject learning.
