The role of schema in the diagnosis of children's concept learning: a case study from a science class

Piaget uses schema to explain his theory of children's cognitive structure, and can explain how "assimilation" and "accommodation" change cognitive structure (i.e. learning behavior). So, schema theory maybe externalizes children's learning behavior and processes. Therefore, with the help of schema theory, we reconstructed the entire process of a group of students learning "simple pendulum" knowledge and roughly identify their mistakes: they came to incorrect conclusions due to experimental design issues. Over the result, we believe that schema theory has great value in diagnosing children's classroom learning errors.
