Estimating the reliability and validity of concept mapping as a tool to assess prior knowledge
… of knowledge about how to do such an analysis. Concept mapping has been proposed as a convenient tool for assessing learners’ prior knowledge (Jonassen, Beissner, & Yacci, 1993; Novak & Gowin, 1993). It has been said that a concept mapping procedure can be quickly developed and then conveniently …
