What is Concept Map
1.
A 2D diagram that shows interrelationships between words and
concept
s.
Learn more in: Using Computational Text Analysis to Explore Open-Ended Survey Question Responses
2.
A diagram that facilitates organization, presentation, processing and acquisition of knowledge by showing relationships among
concept
s as node-link networks. Ideas in a
concept map
are represented as nodes and connected to other ideas/nodes through link labels.
Learn more in: A Systematic Review of Research on Collaborative Learning with Concept Maps
3.
A diagram that presents the relationships between
concept
s.
Learn more in: Mobile Technology-Enhanced Learning
4.
A visual construct composed of encircled
concept
s (nodes) that are meaningfully inter-connected by descriptive
concept
links either directly, by branch-points (hierarchies), or indirectly by cross-links (comparisons). The construction of a
concept map
can serve as a tool for enhancing communication, either between an author and a student for a reading task, or between two or more students engaged in problem solving.

5.
was developed by Joseph Novak around 1972, based on Ausubel’s theory that meaningful learning only takes place when new
concept
s are connected to what is already known.
Concept map
s are hierarchical trees, in which
concept
s are connected with labelled, graphical links, most general at the top. Novak and many others have reported empirical evidence of the effectiveness of this technique, with an international conference dedicated to the approach.

6.
A diagram in which related
concept
s are linked to each other.

7.
According to Novak & Cañas (2008)
concept map
s are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge characterized by: labelled nodes (closed shapes) to represent
concept
s, linking phrases and connecting lines as a way to make explicit the relationships between
concept
s and to form oriented propositions, i.e. meaningful statements with two or more
concept
s that are hierarchically ordered. The main use of a C-
map
in education is to provide a shareable document for teacher and students to negotiate meaning.

8.
A representation of a set of
concept
s that makes interrelationships among them evident, and that is useful as an interface to a model of a knowledge domain.

9.
Are graphical ways of working with ideas and presenting information. They reveal patterns and relationships and help students to clarify their thinking, and to process, organize and prioritize. The visual representation of information through word webs or diagrams enables learners to see how the ideas are connected and understand how to group or organize information effectively.

10.
A diagram that relates
concept
s to one another by connecting related ideas with lines.

11.
A
concept map
is a diagram that depicts
concept
s and their hierarchical relationships.

12.
Is a directed graph that shows the relationship between the
concept
s. It is used to organize and structure knowledge.

13.
A graphic visualization of the connections between ideas in which
concept
s (drawn as nodes or boxes) are linked by explanatory phrases (on arrows) to form a network of propositions that depict the quality of the
map
per’s understanding – as devised by Joseph Novak.

The term is used generically in this paper. It term is often associated with Novak. Novak’s style
map
s are hierarchical, although they also radiate from a central idea. Buzan ’mind
map
s’ are designed to radiate from
concept
placed at the centre of the
map

15.
A graphic depiction of brainstorming, which starts with a central
concept
and then includes all related ideas.

16.
One powerful knowledge presentation format, devised by Novak, to visualize
concept
ual knowledge as graphs in which the nodes represent the
concept
s, and the links between the nodes are the relationships between these
concept
s.

17.
A hierarchal picture of a mental
map
of knowledge.

18.
Concept map
s are built of nodes connected by connectors, which have written descriptions called linking phrases instead of polarity of strength.
Concept map
s can be used to describe
concept
ual structures and relations in them and the
concept map
s suit also aggregation and preservation of knowledge (see Causal
map
, Cognitive
map
).

19.
A graphical tool for representing knowledge structure in a form of a graph whose nodes represent
concept
s, while arcs between nodes correspond to interrelations between them.

20.
A tool that assists learners in the understanding of the relationships of the main idea and its attributes, also used in brainstorming and planning.

21.
A graphical two-dimensional display of knowledge.
Concept
s, usually presented within boxes or circles, are connected by directed arcs that encode, as linking phrases, the relationships between the pairs of
concept
s.

s.

24.
A graphical two-dimensional display of knowledge that is comprised of
concept
s (usually represented within boxes or circles) connected by directed arcs encoding brief relationships (linking phrases) between the pairs of
concept
s (Cañas, A. J., Carff, R., Hill, G., Carvalho, M., Arguedas, M., Eskridge, T. C., Lott, J., & Carvajal, R., (2005).

Concept map
s are graphical knowledge representations that are composed to two components: (1) Nodes: represent the
concept
s, and (2) Links: connect
concept
s using a relationship.
