Learning and Teaching

Abstract

The authors examine the process of learning large, complex subject matters, asking about the ways by which teacher and student communicate the necessary knowledge structures to each other, and asking how a student comes to select an appropriate paradigm for solving a problem and to revise inappropriate ones. They examine protocols from several different learning situations, and have made a first attempt to put together the pieces into a cognitive theory of learning and teaching.
