Paper Abstract:
|
Computer aided concept mapping can be considered as a primary mind tool of constructivist learning approaches. However, concept mapping has serious limitations in the cognitive learning perspective. We are working on a pedagogically meaningful technique for constructing shared cognitive representations and conceptual artifacts in a knowledge building process. We started with a pilot study on the possibilities and challenges of computer aided concept mapping in a learning process. Based on the observations of the pilot study, we propose a model for advanced multiple representation concept maps (AMRCM) that relies on the agent technology based on the conceptual modeling that utilizes Internet search engines. AMRCM forms ontologies and projections between maps enabling examination of concept maps in several ways. AMRCM provides a novel framework to facilitate the learner's cognitive processes and collaborative learning. |
