国际上关于概念图研究的新进展

黎加厚

刚刚收到了《中国电化教育》杂志2004年第8期，十分高兴地看到了北京师大赵国庆等有关概念图研究的一组文章，这是近年来国内的老师们学习和运用概念图的新成就。值得我们好好学习。
同时，我注意到，概念图在国外的信息化教育中得到了越来越广泛的运用，很多研究机构和爱好者已经组织起来，系统地展开可视化教学在提高教学质量上的应用规律的研究和推广应用，其典型标志是将在今年9月14日，在西班牙召开首届国际会议，专门探讨概念图的理论与实践问题。国际上公认的概念图创始人Joseph D. Novak 将在会上发表讲演。
不知道有没有中国人参加这次会议。

Call for Papers

The First International Conference on Concept Mapping has as a purpose bringing together scholars and practitioners interested in the use of the concept mapping tool first developed at Cornell University in 1972. It is being organized by the Universidad Pública de Navarra and the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition.

The Conference is aimed at all persons interested in the use of concept maps, including, but not limited to: facilitation of learning; eliciting, capturing, archiving, and using “expert” knowledge; planning instruction; assessment of “deep” understandings; research planning; collaborative knowledge modeling; creation of “knowledge portfolios”; and administrative planning and monitoring. We expect participants from a broad range of fields presenting a wide variety of research and applications of concept mapping.

The papers should present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research and studies in all areas of concept mapping. All papers should be presented in Spanish or English. (There will be a session in Euskera, if you are interested please write an email to cmc2004@ihmc.us.) The Proceedings of the Conference will published as a book by the Universidad Pública de Navarra. Electronic copies of papers will be made available in CD and on the Conference web site, and will include abstracts in both Spanish and English.

Electronic paper submissions have two categories: full technical papers and poster papers.

Full papers have a length of up to 8 pages while poster papers should have a maximum length of 4 pages.

Submission Deadline: Poster & Paper: Deadline has been extended to May 9, 2004.

Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2004

Camera-ready Papers: July 8, 2004

思考题：

1、距第一届国际概念图大会的召开只有几天了，你能够想办法收集到这次会议的论文资料吗？如果你能够找到，可以让中国的老师们分享学习吗？
2、国内是否可以组织类似的“全国概念图大会”，组织者是否可以邀请“第一届国际概念图大会”的代表和概念图倡导者Joseph D. Novak先生来华介绍世界上关于概念图研究的进展。
3、目前国内研究和推广概念图的老师越来越多，大家是否可以通过网络组成一个虚拟的“全国概念图研究联盟”，这样，可以是零成本地将概念图研究实地做起来。
4、大胆地提出你关于概念图研究的创意和设想。
