| Abstract: | Educationalists experience difficulties with the construction of competence maps that describe final attainment levels of
educational programs. Web-based support was developed with three supportive aids: A construction kit, a phenomenarium, and
an information bank. Each supportive aid was expected to improve perceived process and product quality as well as learning.
In a full factorial experiment, 266 educational science students constructed a competence map, whether or not supported by
different combinations of the three supportive aids. The availability of the construction kit and the phenomenarium had positive
effects on perceived process quality and learning. Furthermore, if there was no phenomenarium with example materials, the absence of the construction kit greatly diminished experienced support (i.e., one
aspect of process quality); if a phenomenarium was present, the availability of the construction kit had relatively little
effect on perceived support. In general, this study indicates that well-designed Web-based support helps to construct competence
maps.
