Research Abstract	In education field it has been pointed out that it is important to educate ability to solve a problem by using a lot of knowledge and know-how. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate individual student7s structural understanding level. As one of the countermeasures related to above problem, we presented the method for cognitive mapping tests and have reported its practical use and effectiveness. This research presented the results on improvement of our instructional methods as an example of its effective use. Next, we discussed the characteristics of cognitive mapping methods based on cognitive maps with multi-valued edges. We applied Design and Drawing class in our university, and confirmed effectiveness of our methods.
