Developing parameters of quantitative evaluation of students' Taxonomic-type answers

This paper represents the way the Karaulov's ideographic method (extended by application of graph theory) can be used for quantitative evaluation of students' professional knowledge. The paper shows the reference graph (which represents the lexical-semantic structure of the subject field called “Pelvis injuries”) as well as parameters of quantitative evaluation of students' professional knowledge. These parameters are used for cognitive and communicative analysis and evaluation of the students' free-form answers.
