It is important to grasp what transpire in the learners’ mind, in responding to a foreign material of which they are tasked to embrace, internalize and apply all within the short time frame in an institutionalized setting.

It is hoped that through the proposed methodological frame, these different ways of understanding of the same object by the students can be revealed, and that self-efficacy, resulted from the perceived gap between the learners’ understanding of the object and their actual ability in realizing those understanding, could be examined in depth.
