Features: This book is based on the integration of information processing theory and constructivism, arguing that problem-solving is both an information processing process and a knowledge acquisition process. Through four empirical studies, it examines the acquisition process of schemas and strategies in the context of problem-solving and its influencing factors. Based on four significant research studies involving nearly 300 students from third to sixth grade, as well as relevant literature, the book focuses on the organization and micro-construction of schemas and proposes the idea of expanding the representational complexity model into a triple intelligence model. It provides educators with new perspectives and effective guidance for applying scientific methods to analyze and solve teaching challenges.
