| Research Abstract |
The project places high priority on “Reasoning Abilities” of students, exploring its methodology and developing the present curriculum. Our analysis shows that the amount of knowledge correlates with the students’ cognitive and reasoning abilities, foregrounding their difficulty in establishing a coherent perspective on teaching materials. The comparative research of school textbook reading and its application clearly denotes students’ problems: those with more knowledge did better performances. Our study provides a possible but highly important explanation for the finding. Presumably, the tendency that less achieved students persist in familiar teaching styles prevents them from freer considerations on teaching materials.
