โฆ Synopsis
Fostering conceptual and cognitive change in learners can be difficult. Students often come to a learning situation with robust, implicit understandings of the material under study. One explanation for the implicit nature of these understandings is a lack of metaknowledge about the knowledge to be acquired. Helping learners create metaknowledge may free paths to conceptual change. This paper proposes the use of fuzzy cognitive ลฝ . maps FCMs as a tool for creating metaknowledge and exploring hidden implications of a learner's understanding. Two specific educational applications of FCMs are explored in detail and recommendations are included for further investigations within educational contexts. แฎ 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This article presents an agent-based fuzzy cognitive map (ABFCM) developed injecting the concept of multi-agent system (MAS) into the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM). Fuzzy cognitive map is used for qualitative modeling and simulation. Compared to the FCM, the ABFCM enables different inference algorithms
Fuzzy cognitive maps ~FCMs! allow experts to express their knowledge by drawing weighted causal digraphs. Experts can pool or fuse their knowledge by adding the underlying FCM causal matrices. This naturally extends the ordered-weighted-averaging ~OWA! technique to averaging dynamical systems and ca
