Paper Abstract:
|
Even though cognitive scientists propose that internal conceptual systems are not easily observable, educational
researchers develop some assessment tools that can allow interpreting individuals communications and representations
of their own knowledge about their internal conceptual systems. On the other hand, assessment of learning in complex
domains is problematic. There is a lack of assessment tools that can directly and accurately measure understanding and
learning on complex domains. This proposed research study on evaluation of mental models uses a set of Web-based
assessment tools called HIMATT (Highly Integrated Model Assessment Technology and Tools) developed by an
international researcher group to address the need for automated tools. Subjects in this study used DEEP (Dynamic
Evaluation of Enhanced Problem Solving) and T-MITOCAR (Text-Model Inspection Trace of Concepts and Relations)
which are embedded into HIMATT. Subjects conceptualizations of complex mathematics problems are analyzed and
compared within a novice group and with an expert group. This ongoing research project will be discussed in this paper. |
