Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 83 === According to post-positivism and cognitive psychology, the processes of knowledge restructuring include all the processes of 「knowledge balance ↹ knowledge unbalance」. To understand these restructuring characteristics, six high school students were investigated by this study as to how they solve the magnetic anomalous problems. The major objectives of this study are as following: 1.To investigate characteristics of thinking processes while students solving anomalous problems. 2.To investigate the suitability of reference points created by this study for the purpose of analyzing the processes of knowledge restructuring. 3.To investigate the response characteristics of high school students while they deal with anomalous problems. To achieve the objectives, six high school students including ten and eleven grades were selected from Kaoshuing City. The Piaget''s clinical exploration method was adopted by this study to induce personal cognitive conflict. Furthermore, the method of thinking-aloud was also adopted to collect knowledge restructuring data. Nine reference points, such as: 「conception-balance」、「conception-temporarily-balance」、 「testing」、「conjecture」、「assumption」、「inference」、 「retrospection」、oubting」, we are created in this study to analyze the research data. The results of this study are as following: 1.The ability of scientific process is an important mechanism in knowledge restructuring. 2.Comprehending problems are the first step to knowledge restructuring. 3.The ability of inference is a bottleneck in knowledge restructuring. 4.The nine reference points proposed in this study works well in analyzing the characteristic of knowledge restructuring. 5.Rejecting is a usually responding characteristic in knowledge restructuring. 6.Reinterpreting is an always responding characteristic in knowledge restructuring. 7.Theory change is the most important responding characteristic in knowledge restructuring, but it is also a rare process.
