An Introduction to Concept Mapping
2
What Is Concept Mapping? l Is a structured process l Focuses on a topic or construct of interest l Involves input from one or more participants l Produces an interpretable pictorial view (concept map) of ideas and concepts and how these are interrelated Concept mapping...

What is concept mapping? It helps individuals think as a group... without losing their individuality. It helps groups to manage complexity... without trivializing or losing detail.

Steps in the Concept Mapping Process
5
Steps in the Process 1Manage time effectively. 4Manage resources effectively. 14Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 20Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 39Organize the work when directions are not specific. 49Work quickly and effectively under pressure. 1.Generate up to 100 statements that describe - The elements of the training or - The desired outcomes

2.Sort the statements into piles of similar ones Work quickly and effectively under pressure 49 Organize the work when directions are not specific. 39 Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 20 Manage resources effectively. 4 1.Generate up to 100 statements that describe - The elements of the training or - The desired outcomes...
