چکیده
This paper discusses both a new measurement method and a performance scoring method in comparison with concept maps drawn by individual students with the concept map drawn by the teacher. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the degree of similarity between a pair of concept maps. Therefore, this paper presents a quantitative evaluation measure of similarity between a pair of maps by considering the difference of qualitative relations among these corresponding elements. This method has been effectively utilized to evaluate logical thinking ability.
