Abstract: The representational level in the process of problem finding were investigated in contradictory and potential situations by means of thinking aloud.40 undergraduates attended the experiment.Half of them were high-score students and the rest were low-score students.The results showed, (1)high-score students found problems and key problems more than low-score students.Problems in contradictory situatoin were more than problems in potential situation.(2)High quality problems were based on the adequate representations.The contact representations were good to prblem finding, but the objective representation was bad to problem finding.It need more representations of information in mind in potential situation than in contradictory situatoin.(3)The order of representations were different.High2score students and low-score students followed the same order.

Key words: problem finding, the representational level, contradictory situatoin, potential situation, think aloud
