It is essential for a constructivist teacher to monitor the apprenticeship of each student in order to facilitate the definition of the next steps in the development of a discipline. Since monitor the apprenticeship is a very complex and time-consuming task, a theoretical framework that supports the observations of the teacher becomes necessary. The use of concept maps to record a students understanding...
Concepts maps has been used as a learning assessment tool. Some inconsistencies in concept maps may turn hard its formal representation and computational interpretation. The concepts repetition is one of them, sometimes occurring in the form of synonym. Therefore, the task of recognizing the occurrence of synonymy between concepts present in a concept map is an important step to the formalism of the...
Concept Maps, proposed to help understand how children assimilate new concepts, has proved to be a powerful tool for representing, organizing and building knowledge. Other lines of research focus on the use of Intelligent Agents, not only in the educational area, but in different environments. This work proposes an agent-based approach for the construction of concept map, associating simplicity and...
The amount of technologies that appear every day as educational applications is surprising. Within the sciences area we can highlight the technologies for the study of programming and robotics, that help students of all skill levels to develop their logical thinking and propose functional prototypes to solve their problems of everyday life. The applicability of these technologies makes them excellent...
Concept maps are resources for the representation and construction of knowledge. They allow the showing, through concepts and relationships, how knowledge about a subject is organized. Technological advances have boosted the development of technological approaches that help the automatic construction of a map, in order to facilitate and provide the benefits of that resource more broadly. Because of...
The spread of scientific knowledge was most marked in recent decades with the advent of distance education. It was possible because advances like the Internet and the development of Learning Management Systems (LMS) were improved increasingly. However, the large amount of information available is not sufficient to ensure the development of future learners in technical disciplines, such as Computer...
It is vital for a constructivist teacher to monitor the apprenticeship of each student in order to facilitate the definition of the next steps in the development of a discipline. This is a very time consuming and it requires a theoretical framework to support the observations of the teacher. This monitoring would benefit from certain automated tools to expedite parts of the process. Different pedagogical...
