Collaborative Student Modeling by Cognitive Maps

The evolution of the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) implies the definition and managing of a Student Model (SM) regarding the collaborative group of learners capable to represent the cognitive state achieved in the Knowledge Domain acquired from the learner experiences. This model is composed by two levels, one oriented to represent the SM of each learner, and the other to recreate the SM of the team that have been learning by an a collaborative strategy. In order to accomplish this challenge, the proposal depicts Cognitive Maps (CM) to represent the concepts and their relationships that are involved in the considerations of the learners and the whole team. With this approach is possible to deal with multiples perspectives and try to ensemble them in an integral view, developing the levels of student modeling in a collaborative fashion.
