Knowledge spaces on fractions

Description

Bases of knowledge spaces on fractions obtained from querying experts.

Usage

fractions

Format

A list containing four bases (frac1 to frac3, and fracmaj) in binary matrix form. Each matrix has 77 columns representing the different knowledge items and a varying number of rows containing the basis elements.

Details

Three experts were queried about prerequisite relationships between 77 items on fractions (Baumunk & Dowling, 1997). A forth basis represents those prerequisite relationships on which the majority of the experts agree (Dowling & Hockemeyer, 1998).
