Personalized Expert Skeleton Scaffolding in Concept Map Construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concept maps have been widely used in educational contexts to facilitate meaningful learning. Recent research has examined how concept mapping tools assist students in summarizing, relating, and organizing concepts. Our goal is to explore how personalized scaffolding can be applied to concept map construction. We provide personalized scaffolding in the form of an adaptive expert skeleton map based on student prior knowledge. We conducted a study comparing the adaptive map to a fixed map and to unscaffolded concept mapping. In an exploratory analysis, we examine the possible impacts of adaptive scaffolding on student learning processes.

متن کاملAutomatic Classification of Concept Maps Based on a Topological Taxonomy and Its Application to Studying Features of Human-built Maps
The flexibility of concept mapping enables users to construct a wide range of maps for a given domain. This variation raises the question of what constitute “good” concept maps. This paper contributes towards answering this question by presenting the development and evaluation of a tool for automatic classification of concept maps based on a topological taxonomy. In addition to showing successf...
