- Abstract
This study was conducted to probe the features of mathematics knowledge and their connections in good mathematical cognitive structure (GMCS) with the flop-map method and the help of both function as material and 72 random senior one students as participants. This paper conducted flow-map interview and flow maps constructions, and then analyzed cognitive variables and knowledge processing strategies, knowledge details, recurrent linkages and misconceptions. The results indicated GMCS had several features. (1) It contained a relatively larger amount of more inclusive and abstract knowledge and knowledge about or focused closer on core concept. (2) It contained relatively more knowledge processed by higher-order conditional inferring and comparing and contrasting, as well as the radical defining. (3) It contained a larger amount of relatively more exact knowledge. (4) It contained more connections and was more compact and likely to be activated. (5) Connections contained in it were the ones between parallel knowledge as well as between inclusive knowledge. And (6) it excluded any misconceptions about connotation of core concept. Compared with most of existed researches, this paper quantitatively analyzed features of mathematics propositions and their linkages in GMCS with a new method, namely flow-map method.
