Improving Self-Efficacy With Automatically Generated Interactive Concept Maps: DIME Maps

The Dynamic and Interactive Mathematical Expressions (DIME) Map system automatically generates DIME maps, which are personalizable manipulable concept maps that allow students to interact with the mathematical concepts contained in any portable document format (PDF) textbook or document. A teacher can upload a PDF chapter retrieve map of mathematically based concepts. is interactive be used interactively navigate chapter. Our goal was investigate relationship between use student learning outcomes, including self-efficacy ability understand recall connections physics We implemented pretest/posttest determine if knowledge increased after participation summer camp class. additionally conducted interviews better how changes these two factors may have occurred. then multivariate analysis variance thematic analysis, finding investigating positive effects using namely growth knowledge. Based on our findings, we conclude valuable tools for both cognitive affective outcomes.
