Summary
The goal of this work is the development of an intelligent tool that would help teachers and students in order to improve the learning process, making use of a variation of the concept map paradigm. The authors propose a novelty in their use for determining the actual student status, that is, what a student currently knows, which concepts a student needs to revise, etc.
The proposed tool describes the subject to learn from an evolution of conceptual maps, called Pedagogical Concept Instructional Graph (PCIG), generated by the teacher. A PCIG does not order the concepts following arbitrary relationships among them as in the case of a general concept map, but the concepts are placed depending on the logical order in which they are presented to the student. After that, the expert system makes use of an adaptive test, generating several questions that deal with those concepts included in the PCIG.
