Abstract | This discussion of the quality and impact of the prior knowledge state presents theoretical and empirical explorations. The theoretical discussion offers a distinct approach to the analysis of prior knowledge based on an extensive literature review of theory, models, and practice about the structure of knowledge. This base is used to define a set of dimensions that are useful in constructing knowledge profiles. The dimensions are: (1) cognitive-psychological; (2) educational-psychological; (3) psychometric; and (4) content-based. In a discussion of empirical results, the dimensions are used to analyze the knowledge profiles of 591 economics students at the Open University of the Netherlands and the Maastricht University with low and high levels of prior knowledge of economics. In this sample, profile analysis did not help to reveal specific significant differences between the two subpopulations, although the research was helpful in defining and operationalizing a new approach to the analysis of prior knowledge states. Ten tables and 23 figures illustrate the investigation. (Contains 31 references.) (SLD) |
