Description
Summary:
The relation of knowledge for solving problems to understanding of general principles in a subject-matter domain is discussed. Theoretical representations, called "conceptual competence," are presented to represent principles that are believed to be understood implicitly by individuals. Implications for problem-solving procedures can be derived from these principles. In a task for which process models have been developed, the process models are related to the formulation of general principles that are reflected in the process. (Author/PN)
