chapter 10 assignment

Stephen Sluyter
Topic: Concpet Mapping and how it relates to information
Audience: High School 8-12


Rationale:
Structure is inherent in all knowledge, so understanding the structural foudnations of any content domain improves comprehension.
Structural knowledge is essential to recall and comprehension.
When learners study they necessarily construct knowledge along with declarative knowledge.
Memory structures reflect the world; people naturally learn the underlying organization of ideas while learning.
Structural knowledge is essential to problem solving and acquisition of procedural knowledge, so semantic networking will necessarily improve problem solving ability.
Experts structural knowledge differs from that of novices; understanding these differences is facilitated by semantic networking.  

Evaluation Checklist:
This semantic network has 20 nodes with 25 links or arrows connecting the different types of information.  This is a complete Semantic Network  with a ratio of instances to concepts of  3 to 1 which explains how well integrated the network is, also known as its embeddedness.
The two Central Concepts of this map would first be the Concept map box, and then the organized knowledge box.  These are the two central themes, in which several links spawn off the organized knowledge box to 7 or 8 nodes to which this concept is interrelated to the entire map.
