试论知识之功能:生态心理学的视角

On the Function of Knowledge:From the Perspective of Ecological Psychology

对知识功能的探讨,既不能离开知识学习的结果,也不能离开知识学习的过程。从学习结果看,知识获得表现为不同表征形态的认知结构,这种认知结构是知识功能得以实现的基础;从学习过程看,知识获得涉及信息的编码、储存(加工)和提取,知识功能的发挥就体现在知识获得的这些不同阶段。对知识功能的探讨,有利于我们更好理解知识的本质,也有助于进一步揭示知识获得的机制。

When it comes to the discussion of the function of knowledge,neither can we separate it from the learning outcomes,nor from the learning process.In terms of learning outcomes,the acquisition of knowledge forms the cognitive structure with different forms of representation,which is the basis for achieving the function of knowledge.And in terms of learning process,the acquisition of knowledge involves three different stages,such as information coding,storage(processing)and extraction,in which the function of knowledge is embodied.To explore the function of knowledge will not only help us understand the nature of knowledge,but also reveal the mechanism of knowledge acquisition.
