Computational Method for Supporting Learning with Cumulative Vocabularies, Conceptual Networks and Wikipedia Linkage

چکیده
In this research paper we propose a new educational framework based on guided exploration in scale-free small-world networks relying on hyperlink network of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia in which hyperlinks between articles define conceptual relationships. Educational material is presented to student with cumulative conceptual networks based on hyperlink network of the Wikipedia connecting concepts of vocabulary about current learning topic. Personalization of educational material is carried out by alternating the distribution of enabled hyperlinks connecting concepts belonging to current vocabulary according to requirements of learning objective, learning context and learner’s knowledge. Besides developing a computational method to manage educational material with conceptual networks and to explore the shortest paths between concepts of vocabulary (especially highest-ranking hyperlinked concepts and strongly rising hyperlinked concepts), we have also experimentally estimated properties of conceptual networks generated based on hyperlink network of the Wikipedia between concepts retrieved from English Vocabulary Profile for cumulatively vocabularies of six language ability levels and from Oxford Wordlist for partially cumulative vocabularies of five school levels.

متن کاملGeneration of learning paths in educational texts based on vocabulary co-occurrence networks in Wikipedia and randomness
We propose a new computational method for generating learning paths in educational texts. The method relies on forming vocabulary co-occurrence networks among articles of Wikipedia online encyclopedia and exploiting random explorations to generate route weighting parameters to form pedagogic co-occurrence networks. Motivated by previous research about scale-free small-world networks we suggest ...
متن کاملTitle: Educational framework for adoption of vocabulary based on Wikipedia linkage and spaced learning
We propose a new educational framework supporting learners in adoption of vocabulary and knowledge for various personalized and engaging pedagogic purposes. The most essential concepts of learning topic are linked based on the shortest connecting paths in hyperlink network of Wikipedia encyclopedia assisted with Wiktionary dictionary. In resulting pedagogic conceptual network learner traverses ...
متن کاملEducational exploration based on conceptual networks generated by students and Wikipedia linkage
We propose a new educational framework for educational exploration based on conceptual networks generated and explored by students supplied with Wikipedia linkage. In the first experimental setup we had a group of students (n=103) to create high-frequency lists of words and links between words, and in the second experimental setup we had another group of students (n=49) to explore a subsection ...
متن کاملTowards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...
