Abstract

Personal experience has shown that student learning problems may often be analyzed intuitively and effectively through personal interviews. However, recent work by Anton Lawson and his colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley has produced a more analytical tool, based on Piagetian Reasoning Theory, to help educators understand how students operate men tally. This tool consists of a series of specially designed puzzles, the response to which, gives clues to understanding the functional basis for students' thought processes.
