The concept mapping and the Vee diagram are important tools for improving the level of conceptual learning of mathematics in all educational levels that can play an important role in the learner's achievement. The purpose of this study is to use a concept mapping and Vee diagram, to calculate the volume of an object by the integral, includes the reaction of what a teacher really knows, the way ...

Forschungsplattform Alexandria https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch | 29.01.2016 The research scope in concept mapping research can be extended with the investigation of complementary concept mapping approaches which are visual representations that complement the classical node link diagrams from Novak. To do so, concept mapping researchers can draw inspiration from architects. This article presents...

conclusions concept mapping was superior to conventional skill teaching methods. it is suggested to use concept mapping in teaching practical courses such as fundamentals of nursing. results before education, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in the three skills of cleaning (p = 0.251), injection (p = 0.185) and sterilizing (p = 0.568). the students mean scores wer...

factors of educational ICT projects: A group concept mapping approach.

This article proposes a framework of quality indicators for learning analytics that aims to standardise the evaluation of learning analytics tools and to provide a mean to capture evidence for the impact of learning analytics on educational practices in a standardised manner. The criteria of the framework and its quality indicators are based on the results of a Group Concept Mapping study condu...
