Example text
Organizational charts may show a hierarchy, but they represent administrative units and/or functions, not concept meanings. Cycles, such as the water cycle, are often used in science. Semantic networks arid predicability trees are used in some psychological and linguistic writings. But none of these forms of maps are based on the theory of learning and theory of knowledge that underlie concept mapping strategies and their application to education. We believe that concept mapping, as described in this book, has more promise than other relationship schemes for both educating and research.
2. For homework or seatwork, choose several other text passages and have students construct a map (using steps 9 and 10). There is value in having two or more children map the same text selection and later compare maps. We have also found it helpful to have students work in twos or threes to construct a map; much good discussion among students can occur. Individual or group maps can be put on the board or overhead projector and explained to the class. 3. A good way to help students recognize that good maps capture the essential meanings in a text is to have them read their map as a story one or two days after it was completed.
After a quick reading of an article, it is relatively easy to go back and circle key concepts or propositions and then to construct a concept map representing them in a hierarchical order. Constructing a concept map enables one to identify the most ilnportant concept (s) and/or propositions and to restate in a concise way the major points made in the article. The hierarchical organization of the concept map casts the meaning of ideas in the article into a framework that makes it easy to recall the substance of the article and to review the information presented in it.
