What is Concept Mapping

Chapter 20
Handbook of Research on Instructional Systems and Technology
Concept mapping, which was developed by Joseph D. Novak in the 1960s, is a type of structured conceptualization by representing knowledge in graphs. Knowledge graphs are networks of concepts. Networks consist of nodes (points/vertices) and links (arcs/edges). Nodes represent concepts and links represent the relations between concepts.

Abstract
This chapter presents an overview on the conceptualization of the inquiry-based learning approach, and how the WebQuest, which is a Web-based inquiry-oriented activity, has been designed and developed. It intends to offer a glimpse into student teachers who study in courses of information technology in education at one university in China and one university in the United State with the objectives of: 1) investigating student teachers’ beliefs and opinions related to the WebQuests; and 2) examining the effectiveness of utilizing the concept map to aid student teachers’ WebQuests design and development.

Concept Mapping and Formative Assessment: Elements Supporting Literacy and Learning
A strategy in which verbal and visual thinking are integrated and displayed in a way distinctive from but traditional writing. Concept maps are constructed by the individual learner, in collaboration with other learners, or created and shared by teacher-experts. Key concepts are arranged in space, not in a linear, grammatically structured form, and may be accompanied by icons and graphic images. Novak and Gowin definition of concept maps specified maps be constructed in a hierarchical format, in which big ideas are linked with verbs or key words to supporting concepts and details. The National Reading Panel (2000) issued a definition of literacy for reading in which concept mapping is included as a key strategy to assist learners in the comprehension of text.

Case Study: A Collaborative of Content Designers and Developers
A technique for visualizing the relationships between different concepts. A concept map is a diagram showing the relationships between concepts. Concepts are connected with labeled arrows, in a downward-branching hierarchical structure. The relationship between concepts is articulated in linking phrases, for example, “gives rise to,” “results in,” “is required by,” or “contributes to.”
