Presentation transcript:

What is Concept Mapping?  A visual manipulative approach to learning  Excellent tool for content/concept analysis  Organize and manipulate concepts, ideas, theories and other material in a visual format.  Can be used for learning, teaching, organizing, problem- solving, decision-making and brainstorming.  Offers simplicity and clarity to complex, multifaceted material.

Advantages of Mapping  Material is organized visually  Concepts that previously seemed separate and compartmentalized now have a visible, connected structure.  Ideas, facts and supporting material are placed at proper levels or rank.  Students with visual learning style excel  Both hemispheres of the brain are used  Greater volume of material can be processed (chunking)  Can be used to unravel difficult concepts (go backward)  Provides a bird’s eye view of large concepts/topics  It’s more fun than cramming details into our heads

Organic Chemistry Concept Map Developmental Biology Concept Map

This technique is designed to show causal interactions of a complex event or phenomenon. It describes a main idea in terms of the following six questions: Who was involved? What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? How did it happen? Why did it happen? A herringbone map is set up like a fish skeleton. The “backbone” of the map represents the main idea. The “spines” of the map represent the six questions about the main idea. Supporting information for each of the six questions is written next to each “spine”. An advantage of the herringbone technique is it helps you encode information in a manner that enhances your ability to answer essay questions. It is a very useful strategy for history courses and other courses that require remembering details for essay questions. A Fishbone Map
