概念图在评价数学概念性理解中的应用

Using Concept Map to Assess Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics

概念图能够从概念间的相互关系以及知识组织结构等角度提供有关概念性理解的丰富信息.采用社会网络分析法对概念图进行数据处理,并对比分析概念图与传统评价方式在评价数学概念性理解上的异同,可以为相关数学概念的教学提供有价值的信息;对概念图作为评价工具的应用性研究也将为新课程所倡导的发展性评价方式的探索与实践提供参考.

Concept map is a viable assessment technique that can provide rich information about students’ conceptual understanding especially about the connections between concepts and their organizational structure. This study employed a method,termed Social Network Analysis, from social science for analyzing student-constructed concept map and compared concept map with traditional measurements of conceptual understanding. The findings from this study about students’ conceptual understanding of certain mathematical concepts would provide research-based information for teaching. The use of concept map as an assessment technique would also be useful reference for the exploration of developmental evaluations in mathematics.
