10. Learning by constructing (or
interacting with) KM maps
[2 weeks]

Reliably representation of our own knowledge
Learning
process phases related to educational intervention phases.
The map development context: a concrete visual support for
cognitive subject handling |
10.2
The necessary cognitive processes for map construction
The conceptualization process.
From conceptualization to representation: from conceptual coherence to
graphical and logical coherence.

|
11.
Experimenting map creation in education
[1 week] |
Creating
maps for different student typologies, starting from the same topic,
prepared by the educator.
|
|
12. Learning assessment and
elements of meta-learning
[1 week] |
Because the maps are cognitive processes development tools, it's
possible to point out (and measure) special needs students advancements.
