A Study On The Cultivation Of Divergent Thinking Of Deaf Students In Primary School Based On Knowledge Visualization

Innovation ability is put forward as one of the goals of new talents training in education reform,and divergent thinking is the main component of innovative thinking.Through investigation,the author found that the definitive thinking of is serious and the ability of knowledge transfer is weak.Therefore,the gap of thinking development level existed between normal students and those deaf students needs to be resolved.However,there is few research result regarding the divergent thinking research theories and practices in the present research results.How can the divergent thinking be cultivated in response to the unique physical and mental development and learning characteristics of the deaf students? So it is necessary to combine theory and practice to conduct comprehensive empirical research and analysis to find answers and thus improve the stagnation of the development of divergent thinking for those deaf students.Based on this,the study analyzes the results of divergent thinking training research and the application of knowledge visualization in deafness teaching through the literature research method.It attempts to develop methods of divergent thinking which are based on knowledge visualization for the development of primary school students,with the divergent methods as the starting point.The study is divided into three parts.The first part uses interviews to investigate and summarize the cognitive features of the deaf students and the development of divergent thinking.Then,the theory of schemata,visual psychology,and other related theories are used as a guide to theoretically analyze the patterns,visual representation design of the thinking processes of functions,methods,combinations,and causality divergences.The second part,based on the five divergent methods,designs the training activities based on the knowledge visualization and uses mathematical knowledge or problems as divergent points.In the third part,a controlled experiment was conducted to test the feasibility and availability of the cultivation method in sixth grade primary school students.Through the analysis of the experimental data from three angles,the following results are obtained:(1)From the perspective of divergent thinking,the three characteristics of divergent thinking in the experimental group and the differences between the scores before and after the total score are significantly different,but compared with the control group,the thinking is fluent.There are significant differences in sexuality and flexibility,and there was no significant difference in the uniqueness of thinking;(2)From the results of the five divergent methods,there are significant differences in the divergence methods before and after the experimental group,but compared with the control group,there is no significant difference in the method of divergent methods.There are significant differences among the other four divergent methods.(3)From the perspective of the contribution of divergent method training to the three major characteristics of divergent thinking,the training method of method divergences has fluency and flexibility in thinking.The promotion of sexuality is not ideal;from the perspective of uniqueness,the training methods of method and combinatorial diffusion method have no significant effect on it.Finally,the author analyzes and discusses the experimental results from the perspectives of relevant theories,cognitive characteristics of the deaf students and visual representation methods,and summarizes the deficiencies in the research process from the factors such as research time,sample size as well as and the author's ability and expects its prospect and development.
