Abstract

Kit-Build concept map (KB map) is an automatic framework based on the concept map, which is utilized for sharing understanding in pair discussion as Reciprocal Kit-Build concept map (RKB map). In the preliminary experiment, the participants from RKB group can recognize their partner’s understanding significantly better than the participants who used the traditional concept map (TCM group) and shows the advantages over the traditional concept map in sharing understanding activity. Therefore, the evidences during discussion will be deeply investigated in this paper to examine the cause of these advantages, especially the relationship between type of talk and the changed propositions.
