For example, the student observes the plant (target object) ‘‘Arigated-leaf croton” and describes its ‘‘Leaf-shape” as ‘‘obovate” (rating value = 4.0). By comparing the student’s answer with the rating given by the teacher (i.e., ‘‘oblanceolate”, rating value = 2.0) inTable
2, it is found that the student’s answer is incorrect. From the objective repertory grid, it can be seen that the ‘‘Leaf-shape” of another learning object ‘‘Indian almond” is ‘‘obovate”, which matches the incorrect answer given by the student. Therefore, the student is guided
to observe the ‘‘Indian almond”, and compare its ‘‘Leaf-shape” with that of the ‘‘Arigated-leaf croton”. After making the comparison, the student will be asked to answer the question again. This step will be repeated until the student correctly identifies the feature of the
target object.
