Propositional Analysis (Designs of concept maps and their impacts on readers’ performance in memory and reasoning while reading)
- The analyses were conducted by two graduate students majoring in history, and a professor supervised the analyses and mediated the discussions over discrepant ratings between the two raters when necessary
- To understand how the participants formed and operated their mental representations, the participants’ recalls of the texts were first broken down into propositions by the two raters. Different approaches were used to analyse the propositions.
- Propositions were rated as ‘valid’ or ‘invalid’
- Every valid proposition was awarded with one point. Every answer that received scores with two or more points of discrepancy between the two raters was checked by the professor to make sure no systematic rating bias existed.
- Five types of propositions.
