Detecção e correção de inconsistências em mapas conceituais

Abstract

The Concept maps are graphic tools for knowledge organization and representation that has special place in educational environments. Therefore, tools has built to support, make easy and extend the use of concept maps. In this work, the purpose is build a tool to recognition of erros in concept maps and to suggest fixes. For that, a literature review has made with the purpose of show the mains related concepts about concept maps. After that, concept maps from different groups was collected to identification of main erros. After these two phases, the conceptual model of tool is showed and built to execute experiments. The results showed that most frequent errors are about linking phrases. Futhermore, the precision of tool features could be measured. Thus, this work also suggest that the use of proposed tool support the construction of maps with a minimal formalism and make more easily to be interpreted.
