Abstract
The effectiveness of a diagram in problem solving is dependent on its utility as a cognitive tool. In order to develop students’ ability to use diagrams as cognitive tools, teachers need to assess the quality of students’ diagrams and provide them with the necessary support. However assessing the quality of diagrams is problematic. This paper discusses how theoretical prototypes and exemplars of level of performance provide a practical and effective avenue for assessing the quality of students’ diagrams.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
