Network Similarity (NETSIM) as a Method of Assessing Structural Knowledge for Large Groups.

Pinkerton, K. David

Journal of Interactive Learning Research, v9 n3-4 p249-69 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 validities. (Author/LRW)
