Components of a Cognitive Theory of Problem Solving and Discovery with Law Encoding Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
The representational components for a cognitive theory of Law Encoding Diagrams, LEDs, are considered in this paper. Examples of problem solving and scientific discovery with LEDs are discussed and used to introduce the four schemas that appear necessary to account for the many different forms of reasoning that are possible with this class of representational systems. Possible forms of processing with LEDs are illustrated by analysing the diagrammatic nature of Galileo’s kinematics discoveries.

متن کاملA Framework for Scientific Reasoning with Law Encoding Diagrams: Analysing Protocols to Assess Its Utility
Law Encoding Diagrams (LEDs) are classes of representations for problem solving and learning in science. A framework consisting of four schemas has been proposed to account for problem solving and learning with LEDs. This paper assesses the utility of this framework by using it to analyse verbal and behavioural protocols of a subject involved in problem solving with a class of LEDs for

متن کاملElectrifying diagrams for learning: principles for complex representational systems
Six characteristics of effective representational systems for conceptual learning in complex domains have been identified. Such representations should: (1) integrate levels of abstraction; (2) combine globally homogeneous with locally heterogeneous representation of concepts; (3) integrate alternative perspectives of the domain; (4) support malleable manipulation of expressions; (5) possess com...
