Abstract

The current study explored the utility of a computerized program called the Graphical Interface of Knowledge Structure (GIKS) that generates and compares a network from a student essay and a master text. We compared different structures of master texts on the same content and also compared GIKS-identified nodes and links to those scored by human experts. We found that GIKS was able to improve node identification from essays by using regular expressions.

Keyphrases: GIKS, Pathfinder, automatic scoring, knowledge structure, science text
