Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to provide an integrated method for personal concept structure analysis. Based on the utility of S-P chart (student problem chart) to deal with classification for learning style, students of different learning style display its own features of concept structure. In this study, S-P chart is used to classify learning styles of students. Concept structure analysis (CSA) could display personalized concept structure. CSA algorithm is the major methodology and its foundation is fuzzy logic model of perception (FLMP) and interpretive structural modeling (ISM). CSA could clearly represent hierarchies and linkage among concepts. Therefore, CSA will be effectively to display features of personal concept structures. In this study, an empirical data for concepts of linear algebra from university students is discussed. The results show that students of varied learning styles own distinct knowledge structures. CSA combined with S-P chart could be feasible for cognitive diagnosis. According to the findings and results, some suggestions and recommendations for future research are discussed.
