Domain-specific

• Knowledge Space
  • Doignon and Falmagne introduced this state-family approach to knowledge assessment in 1985.

Mechanisms

• Curriculum Prerequisite Map
  • It draws directly on the idea that a learner's knowledge is a state within a structured space of prerequisite-linked competencies.

    This sourceFormalizes a learner's knowledge as a state within a structured space whose relations encode feasible prerequisite patterns.

• Prerequisite Tree
  • It builds a Prerequisite Tree over its topics: addition → multiplication → fractions → ratios → …, fractions + variables → algebraic fractions, and so on, each arrow a hard "needs-before" dependency drawn after the fashion of formal prerequisite structures in learning research.

    This sourceFormalizes prerequisite structures in learning research as directed needs-before relations among knowledge items.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
