How to Qualitatively + Quantitatively Assess Concepts Maps: the case of COMPASS

This paper presents a scheme for the quantitative and qualitative assessment of concept maps in the context of a web-based adaptive concept map assessment tool, referred to as COMPASS. The propositions are characterized qualitatively based on specific criteria and on the error(s) that may be identified. The quantitative assessment depends on the weights assigned to the concepts/propositions and the error categories.
