Abstract

Investigation of curriculum elements in terms of knowledge content organisation can be based on two entities that support the process of knowledge acquisition: concepts and learning outcomes. Motivated by this structure of knowledge organisation, we construct curriculum knowledge content as a bipartite network of concepts and learning outcomes. Furthermore, we examine the applicability of centrality estimates in detecting key knowledge entities of curriculum content as well as possibilities to rethink the knowledge organisation and teaching. Results have shown that centrality analysis is particularly suitable for identifying concepts and learning outcomes that are key landmarks for managing cognitive load and improving learning retention.
