Abstract(in English) In this research, Pathfinder analysis was used to illustrate procedural text representation. Thirty-two participants learned the LEGO assembly from the text in either 'read and perform' or 'read only' condition. Then, they rated the relatedness of each sentences and assembled the LEGO. Results showed that participants in read-and-perform condition well understood the assembly. In Pathfinder analysis, however, network of read-only condition had more coherent representation. These results suggested that Pathfinder analysis is appropriate method for illustrating of text-based representation. However, it is necessary to improve Pathfinder analysis more to illustrate representation of 'procedure comprehension'.
