Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cognitive Science
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Information gathering and processing are crucial for medical problem-solving.
  • Student strategies for information gathering and cognitive skill application in problem-solving remain under-explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how students gather and process information during problem-solving exercises in immunology.
  • To visualize student knowledge organization, focus, and conceptual links.

Main Methods:

  • Development of computer-based problem-solving exercises in immunology.
  • Creation of graphic representations of student search paths to analyze information processing.
  • Identification of misconceptions and knowledge gaps within conceptual domains.

Main Results:

  • Visualizations revealed the organization and focus of student knowledge.
  • The study identified specific areas of misconceptions and erroneous models.
  • Analysis showed the extent of proper knowledge links between conceptual domains.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding student information-gathering and processing patterns is key to effective problem-solving.
  • Visualizing search paths aids in identifying learning difficulties.
  • This approach enables the development of personalized educational strategies for medical students.
