Scientific literacy is an important part of education. Students that demonstrate scientific literacy can organize and coordinate their science ideas to interpret and explain a diverse range of phenomena. However, the complex thinking connected to this ability is not captured by most assessments today. We address this issue by investigating how the little researched construct of knowledge integration which describes how students coordinate their ideas in explanations can be measured using network analysis.
