What are Competence Triangles?

In a knowledge-based concept map students (individually or in groups) visually represent conceptual knowledge for a body or bodies of knowledge. Concepts represent physical or social quantities and qualities such as for example types of chemical element or economic social class. In a map concepts are placed and then linked. Links can represent cause/effect relations (or correlations) and functional relations, as well as logical relations such as membership relations (or component relations) or other hierarchical relationships.

Representations can be put together through pen and paper, or digitally. A task can be performed individually or collaboratively in small groups.
