Abstract

Concept maps (Cmaps) are graphic organizers with great potential to be applied to the hypertext-assisted learning (HAL). The possibility of reading a hypertext in several different ways and the need to establish the reading sequence generates an additional cognitive demand to the students, possibly compromising the learning outcomes. The map shock, defined as the disorientation caused by Cmap-structured hypertexts, is the research problem to be studied. The aim of this project is to evaluate strategies to minimize the disorientation caused by Cmaps used to prepare instructional materials. Students' eye tracking will be used during their interaction with the instructional materials (digital Cmaps) as an innovative way of collecting empirical data to check the map shock generated by Cmaps. There is no paper in the literature exploring eye tracking to study the disorientation due to the use of concept mapping. The map shock understanding and the development of instructional strategies to minimize it will contribute to advancement of research on the use of graphic organizers for developing hypertexts to prepare instructional materials. The expectation is to improve the learning outcomes through the map shock reduction, increasing teachers' interest on using Cmaps in classrooms and distance education. (AU)
