Problem-Solving Followed by Instruction Can Enhance Creative Knowledge Application by Constructing Semantic Memory Networks

This study aims to investigate whether the PS-I method can influence learners’ semantic network structures and their creative use of knowledge, as well as to further examine whether dynamic changes in semantic networks serve as the cognitive mechanism through which the PS-I method promotes creative knowledge application.
