Learning as a Fuzzy Structure: New Challenges for Educational Evaluation

Recognizing the inability to accurately measure learning, we propose a new quantification tool. We understand the quantification of learning as a fuzzy structure; this is more general than the conventional quantification. This concept opens up new lines of research, analysis and modeling. It is an additional step in understanding the phenomenon of learning
