Quantiative Structural Representations of Cognitive Tasks for Both Learning and Assessment in Complex Cognitive Environments
Bayesian network model
Develop structural representations of cognitive tasks, complex learning processes Cognitive task analysis Provide learning trajectories Provide info of cognitively diagnostic assessment
Structural representation used to
- effectively express cognitive task
- provide learner with cognitive trajectory
Cognitive task:
Well structured: subtasks exhibit well-graded knowledge structures
OR
Not well structured: contain latent variables, multi-represented from latent variables to evidential variables
Structural hierarchical representation
Case
13 3rd yr med students, solve video clinical task, simulated emergency Complete case, observe problem, what would you do?
- Deep cognition
- Metacognition
- Cognitive action
Organize components into a model - evidential variables.
