Abstract

—The goal of this paper is to develop a theoretical framework for assessment of learners’ level of mastering of lower and upper concepts. The presented work involves the theory of knowledge spaces, distributive lattices and nested line diagrams. Application of distributive lattices in the framework facilitates avoidance of answer combinations that do not contain both lower concepts and related to them upper concepts.
