Unal Cakiroglu; Rabia Ozdemir Sarialioglu – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2024
This paper reports on a study aiming at examining the effect of using digital concept maps in inquiry learning. Digital concept maps were asked to be created in different stages of the inquiry learning sessions to support their investigations. The participants were a total of 24, 10th-grade students enrolled in a chemistry course at a public high…

Pinkerton, K. David – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1998
Discussion of structural knowledge assessment for large groups focuses on the features of a "KNOT" computer program which uses a network similarity index (NETSIM) to compare novice and expert concept maps. Treatment in three high school physics classes investigated reliability as well as content, construct, concurrent, and predictive…

Laffey, James M.; Singer, Jon – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1997
To advance understanding of how mapping can contribute to project-based science (PBS) and cognitive assessment, 31 high school students used mapping in a year-long PBS course; mapping was one component of a set of assessment techniques. Teacher and student interviews, student surveys, and assessment scores show that mapping, as a visual…

Rautama, Erkki; Sutinen, Erkki; Tarhio, Jorma – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1997
Describes a framework for computer-aided concept mapping that provides the means to easily trace the learning process. Presents the construction of a concept map as a script which consists of elementary operations. This approach can be applied in presentation tools, in evaluating the learning process, and in computer-aided learning. (Author/AEF)

Kommers, Piet; Lanzing, Jan – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1997
Addresses the main functions of concept mapping as a student activity in their learning processes: (1) design method to be used as a structural scaffolding technique before and during the development of hypermedia; (2) navigation device for exploring hypermedia documents on CD-ROMs or WWW; (3) knowledge elicitation technique; and (4) authentic…

Conlon, Tom – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2006
Concept mapping is a powerful learning technique that can be enhanced by computer technology. Software tools are already available for the preparation of concept maps but as yet, few systems provide feedback on their content. The claim made by this article is that by enlisting the student as an assessment partner, computer-based feedback becomes…
