Second, this study uses content analysis to explore the cognitive development and learning performance of the participants during the interactive process. The results show that interactive learning activities can effectively promote all the participants’ cognitive development, on which different backgrounds have little influence. The participants’ cognitive development is mostly concentrated in the application and analysis phase. The results can be used as a reference for future research.
