Pedagogical and Theoretical Approaches for Using Concept Maps
Dr. Joseph Novak • Professor Emeritus from Cornell University • Developed concept mapping in 1970s • Research focused on human learning, educational studies, and knowledge creation and representation. • Developed a theory of education to guide research and instruction
What is a concept map? (Novak & Gowin, 1984)
Types of Concept Maps Spider Organized by placing the central theme or unifying factor in the center of the map. Outwardly radiating sub-themes surround the center of the map.
Types of ConceptMaps Hierarchy Presents information in a descending order of importance. The most important information is placed on the top. Distinguishing factors determine the placement of the information.
Types of ConceptMaps Flowchart Organizes information in a linear format.
Types of ConceptMaps Systems Organizes information in a format which is similar to a flowchart with the addition of inputs and outputs.
Special Types of Maps Picture Landscape: present information in a landscape format. Multidimensional/3-D:describe the flow or state of information or resources which are too complicated for a simple two-dimensional map. Multidimensional/2-D:describe the flow or state of information or resources which are too complicated for a simple two-dimensional map.

Elements to Include in the Concept Map • Proposition: Is the meaning relationship between two concepts indicated by the connecting line and linking word(s)? Is the relationship valid? • Hierarchy: Does the map show hierarchy? Is each subordinate concept more specific and less general than the concept drawn above it (in the context of the material being mapped)? • Cross links:Does the map show meaningful connections between one segment of the concept hierarchy and another segment? Is the relationship shown significant and valid
Let’s Build a Concept Map Now • Question: What would you like to gain from this module? • Instructions: • Identify a main theme for your answer. Identify at least three reasons for taking this module. • Organize these major reasons and rank them from most abstract and inclusive to most concrete • Cluster concepts that function at similar level and those that are closely related • Arrange concepts on a map, working from the core concept, to major points, to significant details
