Cognitive Dissonance in Solving Planimetric Problems

The problem of cognitive dissonance in the aspect of automated solution of planimetric problems is investigated. Algorithms based on the ontology of the subject area and aimed to the elimination of cognitive dissonance are developed. Computer implementation of the developed algorithms with linguistic and visual aid is investigated. The generality of the approach of eliminating cognitive dissonance in solving problems from other domains in the presence of an appropriate ontology is highlighted. The significance of fundamental and applied components of the investigated problem and the importance of the developed approach for the formation of students’ critical thinking are emphasized.
