Mapping cognitive structure: A comparison of methods.

Abstract: The present study compared three methods of mapping cognitive structure. Free and controlled word association tests and a tree-construction test, all using the same 15 mechanics concept words as stimuli or units, were administered to 28 graduate science students (21 male, 7 female). Very similar patterns of relations among the words, well represented by a digraph model, were revealed by the three techniques, and graphic representations of these structures were produced. No agreement was obtained among individu… Show more

“…Jonassen (1990) revisó tres métodos para la evaluación de las estructuras de conocimiento. El mejor y más extendido de dichos métodos es la graduación de listas de libre asociación de palabras (Preece, 1976). Cuando se proporciona una lista vacía, el alumno genera una lista de asociaciones libres a esa palabra.…”

“…Algunos autores como Fenker (1975), Jonassen (1990), Preece (1976) y Shavelson (1972) están de acuerdo en que procedimientos o técnicas similares a las Redes Asociativas Pathfinder, como son: el Análisis de Componentes Principales, el Análisis de Cluster o el Escalamiento Multidimensional, sirven para definir las estructuras cognitivas.…”

“…As for the method to probe the MCS, the concept map method was considered as the most convenient and effective commonly at present (Novak, 1998;Liu, 1994;Ruiz-Primo & Shavelson, 1997), because it could show clearly not only the quantity of knowledge and their connections, but also the integral organization of all knowledge (Preece, 1976;Zhang and Chen, 2000;Tsai, 2001;Ifenthaler et al, 2001). However, it was obviously inconvenient to conduct quantitative analysis (Zhang and Chen, 2000;Ifenthaler et al, 2001).…”
