Paper Abstract:
|
The paper describes the developed adaptive system for knowledge assessment and self-assessment based on usage of
concept maps. The concept mapping approach offers a reasonable balance between complexity of knowledge assessment
system and necessity to assess higher levels of knowledge according to the Blooms taxonomy. The underlying concepts
of the developed system which supports a process oriented learning are discussed. The architecture and functionality of
the intelligent knowledge assessment system based on the intelligent agent paradigm is described. The system to the large
extent can adapt to each individual learner by changing the degree of task difficulty and providing execution of two kinds
of tasks fill-in tasks and construction tasks of concept maps. Information about two prototypes which have been already
implemented and tested in different study courses is given. |
