Concept Map – what, why and how?
What is Concept Mapping ? • Concept mapping is a technique for representing knowledge in graphs. Knowledge graphs are networks of concepts. Networks consist of nodes (points) and links. Nodes represent concepts and links represent the relations between concepts. • Concepts and links . . . can be simply associative, specified or divided in categories such as causal or temporal relations.
Why Concept Map? • to generate ideas (brain storming, etc.); • to design a complex structure (of a long texts or large web sites, etc.); • to organize and compare complex ideas; 適合整合與比較不同文本的概念。 • to aid learning by explicitly integrating new and old knowledge; • to assess understanding or diagnose misunderstanding.
Why Concept Map in World Literatures in English? • Being in an ‘ill-structured’ knowledge domain, the cultural texts and issues we discuss are interrelated in many different ways; • To generate and organize ideas (brain storming, etc.) by yourself and/or with your group helps remember and clarify the ideas you have; • To organize and communicate complex ideas in between these texts/issues helps formulate a map which you can later add to and revise. • To describe and explain to the whole class your CMap will help the whole form and revise our concepts maps.
Process of Making a CMap 1. 參考課程資料、筆記,將重點全部列出,並把所聯想到的其它概念或經驗也一併寫出。 2. 將所有寫出的概念依重要性順序排列。 3. 選出最重要及概括性的概念置於頂端。 4. 將列表中認為是次重要並與前項概念有關的列於其下,並畫上連接線。 5. 思考兩者之間的關聯,並在其中填入簡略詞語表達此關係。
Process of Making a CMap (2) • 6. 選出另一個重要並有關的概念,考慮其與關連主觀念和次觀念之間的關連。然後加上垂直﹙表達從屬﹚或水平﹙表達對等﹚的線連接,並以簡略詞語表達。 • 8. 持續進行前述步驟,直到列表中所有概念均被填入圖中。 • 9. 檢視所有圖中概念,是否合理的連接。如有不清楚或混淆的地方,再思考與其它概念間關係並重新安排。 • 10. 根據這份圖,在課堂上口頭或以文章書寫出想法,以讓建構的圖形架構再一次轉換成文字,強化對新知識的敘述表達。
How in our class • 1. Required: (due mid-term week) Connecting to the Big Wide World by connecting one of the texts covered in class and one not covered • 2. Optional: used to organize the concepts presented in your group report.
