Abstract

Concept maps have been widely used in educational contexts to facilitate meaningful learning. Recent research has examined how concept mapping tools assist students in summarizing, relating, and organizing concepts. Our goal is to explore how personalized scaffolding can be applied to concept map construction. We provide personalized scaffolding in the form of an adaptive expert skeleton map based on student prior knowledge. We conducted a study comparing the adaptive map to a fixed map and to unscaffolded concept mapping. In an exploratory analysis, we examine the possible impacts of adaptive scaffolding on student learning processes.
