A cognitive framework for knowledge in informatics

摘要

Knowledge is a function of both skills and understanding. The interaction between instrumental and relational understanding is necessary for construction of further knowledge. Constructivist theory is used to analyse the learning process in informatics. A framework for describing different types / levels of knowledge is used to describe students and professors statements about the concept of Object-orientation.The findings of this study may have implications for teaching Object-orientation, especially in introductory courses.
