Abstract

In social studies learning, it is crucial for students to develop a "structural awareness" that systematically organizes the connections between social phenomena. One approach to achieving this is concept mapping, and Tokutake et al. (2019) developed the S-R Score Table as a method for teachers to evaluate students' concept maps. However, the procedure for utilizing this method is complex, and interpreting the results requires specialized knowledge and insight. Therefore, in this study, we developed an evaluation support system that automates the creation of the S-R Score Table and displays the comparison results of the concept maps created by teachers and students in a comprehensive view. This system is designed to make it easier for teachers to evaluate the overall trends in students' structural awareness. The application of this system in actual classroom settings suggested that it could enhance teachers' ability to evaluate the structural awareness trends of the entire class.
