I find the concept of knowledge maps intriguing. The idea that the failure to understand prerequisite knowledge or skills severely limits learning that builds on such knowledge or skills seems intuitive. I know that the Kahn Academy makes use of knowledge maps.
A map of mathematical knowledge and skills would seem less controversial than maps constructed to reflect knowledge in other areas. The math map is the only Kahn Academy map I can locate. I am interested in the structure proposed for biology because that happens to be the domain I have the most experience thinking about. I would guess “experts” argue over knowledge maps, but I would also think the desire for a perfect map is pointless.
If someone can point be to other knowledge maps, I would appreciate the assistance.
