Concept maps are an educational tool that is used both for learning and knowledge assessment. Automated knowledge assessment has a limited ability to assess non-standard constructions. and current automated concept map-based knowledge assessment systems fail to recognise the fact that learner’s chosen labels for conceptual relationships may differ from teacher’s preferred labels and still be correct. This paper conceptually introduces several mechanisms for overcoming this drawback which distinguish real misconceptions from correct statements that are expressed using different words.
