Based on the previously proposed concept Understanding Tree, this paper introduces two concepts: Understanding Graph and Understanding Map, and explores their potential applications. Understanding Graph and Understanding Map can be deemed as special cases of mind map, semantic network, or concept map. Œe two main differences are: Firstly, the data sources for constructing Understanding Map and ...

The explorative mind-map is a dynamic framework, that emerges automatically from the input, it gets. It is unlike a verificative modeling system where existing (human) thoughts are placed and connected together. In this regard, explorative mind-maps change their size continuously, being adaptive with connectionist cells inside; mind-maps process data input incrementally and offer lots of possib...

This study aims to investigate SMK Oya Pre-U students’ perceptions on the use of mind mapping strategy in their MUET (Malaysian University English test) writing. To achieve the aim of the study, a questionnaire was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Therefore, 25 SMK Oya Pre-U students with different band achievement in MUET (Malaysian University English Test) were selected...

Some cognitive states — e.g. states of thinking, calculating, navigating — may be partially external because, at least sometimes, these states depend on the use of symbols and artifacts that are outside the body. Maps, signs, writing implements may sometimes be as inextricably bound up with the workings of cognition as neural structures or internally realized symbols (if there are any). Accordi...

In this paper I will outline firstly, my study, and secondly, some of the important findings and how they can be used positively in mathematics education. The study was carried out on a group of five students chosen at random from a large group of two hundred students who were surveyed using the Fennema-Sherman attitudinal scales. A case study approach was design was used to draw comparisons an...

This paper describes how mind mapping software can help to visualize: • System performance requirements • Product attributes that satisfy performance requirements • Mapping between performance requirements and product attributes An example is given using a partial model for vehicle performance developed by the International Truck and Engine Corporation. The mind map software used in this study ...

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is one of the most vital planning processes of the project management since it is considered to be the fundamental of other processes like scheduling, controlling, assigning responsibilities, etc. In fact WBS or activity list is the heart of a project and omission of a simple task can lead to an irrecoverable result. There are some tools in order to generate a pro...

It is difficult for organizations to effectively manage personal knowledge so it can be mobilized, shared, and rewarded to benefit the organization. The difficulties are compounded in large organizations where people with potentially valuable knowledge are unknown to one another and dispersed geographically. Issues that are potentially amenable to management include identification, indexing and...

The increasing number of documents returned by search engines for typical requests makes it necessary to look for new methods of representation of contents of the results, like document maps. Though visually impressive, doc maps (e.g. WebSOM) are extensively resource consuming and hard to use for huge collections. In this paper, we present a novel approach, which does not require creation of a ...
