Knowledge spaces on reading and writing abilities

Description

Bases of knowledge spaces on reading/writing abilities obtained from querying experts.

Usage

readwrite

Format

A list containing four bases (rw1 to rw3, and rwmaj) in binary matrix form. Each matrix has 48 columns representing the different knowledge items and a varying number of rows containing the basis elements.

Details

Three experts were queried about prerequisite relationships between 48 items on reading and writing abilities (Dowling, 1991; 1993). A forth basis represents those prerequisite relationships on which the majority of the experts agree (Dowling & Hockemeyer, 1998).
