学科学习中的兴趣与先前知识

Interest and Prior Knowledge in Subject Learning

一、问题的提出兴趣与先前知识的关系是教育心理研究的重要问题之一。杜威(1913)提出,以兴趣为基础的学习的结果与仅仅以努力为基础的学习的结果有质的不同。近20年来,这一思想直接刺激了西方学者关于兴趣和先前知识之间关系的研究。

According to the information-goal theory of interest, the relation between interest and prior knowledge were explored. A hypothesis was drawn that there is no relationship between interest and isolated knowledge obtained by memory and simple comprehension in subject learning, but when the isolated knowledge representations are connected by deep comprehension, they are related to interest. An exploration was designed to examine the hypothesis. At the end of the article, implications of the results are discussed.
