Abstract—A kit-build is a framework that utilizes a concept
map to visualize knowledge and automatically assess the
concept map that was created by the learner by recomposing
the kit. In this case study, a kit-build will be implemented in
object-oriented programming learning to investigate its
usefulness in increasing learning gain compared with a
traditional summarizing activity. In this study, learners will
practically use a kit-build concept map system to facilitate
reviewing and reconstruct their knowledge of object-oriented
programming learning resources. This study conducted an
experiment using two groups: the summarizing group (n = 46)
and the kit-build group (n = 35). The variables that were
measured were the pre- and post-test scores and learning gain.
To evaluate the significance of the difference between the two
groups, a non-parametric ANOVA analysis was performed. The
experiment result confirms that incorporating the kit-build
concept map as a knowledge visualization technique could
improve not only the learning performance but also the overall
learning gain compared with the group that used the regular
summarizing method.
