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. © 2023, International Journal of Information and Education Technology.
