Direct linkHartmeyer, Rikke; Bølling, Mads; Bentsen, Peter – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Current research points to Personal Meaning Mapping (PMM) as a method useful in investigating students' prior and current science knowledge. However, studies investigating PMM as a method for exploring specific knowledge dimensions are lacking. Ensuring that students are able to access specific knowledge dimensions is important, especially in…
