- W203415957 abstract "This study explores some ways in which cognitive tools may be used to assist learners to interpret graphs and tables. It investigates ways in which concept mapping tools may be applied to this task, and then it investigates how preservice teachers used a suite of simple cognitive tools designed to reduce cognitive load. All cognitive tools were developed with HyperCardTM software and these tools were used by preservice teachers (the subjects of this study). The thesis is divided into three linked studies. Study 1 investigated the cognitive strategies employed by preservice teachers when they interpreted graphs and tables. The findings were then used to guide the design of the cognitive tools that were used in Study 2. During Study 1 the ability of various groups of preservice teacher to interpret graphs and tables were compared. The findings showed that when these learners interpreted graphs and tables they had difficulties with understanding the context as described by the accompanying text, sorting and comparing relevant data in tables, and identifying specific global (eg. slope, tuming points, discontinuities) and local features (eg. labels on axes, points on graphs) that were relevant. During Study 2 a prototype of the cognitive tools was developed and trialled. These tools were designed to assist leamers to interpret information in form of text, graphs and tables that related to the destmction of rainforests. During Study 3 the improved cognitive tools were used by 80 preservice teachers. Interviews, artefacts and tracking data were gathered and used to evaluate the tools. The findings from all data sources suggest that there are procedures that we should employ to effectively introduce leamers to cognitive support tools, as it is not just a matter of designing a suitable tool and then handing it over to the learner to use. Analysis of the concept maps and interview transcripts showed that the leamers used one of three strategies to constmct their concept maps, but in most cases there was little difference in the quality of the final map produced. It appears that one strength of the concept mapping tool was that it helps leamers to visually organise knowledge in different ways. Also the other cognitive tools may have acted as mental devices that supported, guided and extended the thinking processes of leamers." @default.
