✦ Synopsis

We have proposed a structuring method of instructional terms and a clustering method with multiplicity on the basis of a weighted graph. In this paper we propose a consistent sequencing method of instructional terms based on them. Here we consider level and relevancy (degree) as the principle of the sequencing and give a set of rules for consistent sequencing with respect to them. They are represented as the rules on the adjacency matrix and a vertex decomposition method for it is discussed. We illustrate the method in some examples comparing the traditional method and make clear the properties of our method. Lastly we summarize the method by picturing a whole instructional strategy space.
