Abstract:

Deeper learning quality includes individual learners, groups and deeper learning system. On the one hand, it is highly recognized by theoretical research; on the other hand, the difficulty of evaluation hinders in-depth research and classroom practice. Schema and SOLO theory provide a psychological basis for deeper learning evaluation, while the thinking visualization technology provides evaluation tools, so the learning thinking visualization system is designed and developed, including learning strategy software, cognitive structure software and PDA products. Using the developed evaluation system, the study diagnosed the math learning of more than 4,000 primary school students in S (east China), C (northeast China), W (central China) and K (southwest China). Through the analysis of a large amount of data, three conclusions are drawn: first, learning strategy and cognitive structure can be used as the effect quantity of deeper learning quality; second, the visualization system of learning thinking is effective in evaluating deeper learning; third, deeper learning classroom should be improved from the following three aspects: (1) learning content, we should pay attention to the integration of subject content, learning strategy and cognitive structure; (2) learning mode, we should focus on the operation mode and the structure of personalized learning and cooperative learning; (3) thinking quality, we should pay attention to the construction and generation of complex schema. The development and application of deeper learning quality evaluation tools will effectively improve the operability of deeper learning implementation.

Key words: quality of deeper learning, evaluation tool, development, application
