  1. TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR RESEARCH Prof. Moustapha Diack Chair, Doctoral Program in Science/Math Education – Southern University – Baton Rouge International Center for Information Technology and Development (ICITD) & Doctoral Program In Science/Math Education (SMED) Join Research Colloquia Series – Spring 2017

  2. Research Tools CONCEPT MAPPINGCmap software is a result of research conducted at the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC). It empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models represented as concept maps. MENDELEYFree cross-platform application (Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android) that helps you to organize and manage research material. Allows you to promote yourself and your research while connecting with over four million other users from around the world.

  3. What is concept mapping? • concept mapping is a technique for organizing and representing information • a true concept map must include: • core concepts - usually enclosed in circles or boxes • relationships illustrated by lines and arrows connecting concepts AND by propositions or statements on those lines that explain the nature of the relationship Pages Books are made of Binding

  5. How are maps used? • for assessment to gain insight into student knowledge structures--valid understandings and misconceptions • for group thinking to collectively brainstorm and structure issues relevant to a topic • for planning to organize information for a report, presentation, debate, or discussion • for research to analyze how groups respond to or perceive something, Literature Review, Logic Map,….

  6. Concept Map Forms • a concept map can take many forms, provided it includes concepts and illustrates relationshipsthrough BOTH lines ANDproposition statements: • spider, with informationorganized outwardaround a central topic

  7. Concept Map Forms • hierarchy, withinformation structuredfrom most to leastimportant; or frommost inclusiveand general toless inclusiveand specific

  8. Concept Map Forms • flowchart, with information orderedin a linear format

  9. Concept Map Forms • systems, withinformation orderedlike a flowchartwith inputsand outputs

  10. Non-Examples A concept map is a very specific thing; it is NOT any of these things: A flow chart of a process that has no proposition statements explaining the relationship between stages

  11. Non-Examples an organizational chartthat has nopropositionsor statementsthat explainhow differentpeople supportone other Sometimes accepted in [proposal and dissertation - Figure

  12. Non-Examples • a mind map is similar to a concept map, with a central topic • main themes arenoted on "branches" • main themes areexpanded into details • propositions explainingrelationships betweenconcepts are not included

  15. What is the Process for Developing a Map?

  16. Select Domain • select a domain of knowledge somewhat familiar to the person constructing the map (e.g., air pollution) • the domain should belimited to a manageable size: • a segment of text • a lab activity • part of a course • Proposal Outline • Dissertation Outline

  17. Identify Key Concepts in Domain • list key concepts in domain • order concepts from the most inclusive or general to the less inclusive and specific • CASE • Categorizing a literature Review • Explaining a process

  20. Examine Relationships • insert lines/arrows and write preliminary proposition statements that explain relationships between concepts • look for cross-links between different domains of knowledge identified (if topic includes multiple domains) • help students understand every concept "could be" related to every other concept, but they must evaluate and choose the most important concept relationships

  21. What are Some Strategiesfor Employing Concept Mapsin the Classroom?

  22. Strategies: Complete Fill-in • fill-in blanks in pre-structured map from a list of concepts • helps studentsto consolidateunderstandingof conceptsand relationsamong them

  23. Strategies: Partial Fill-in

  24. Strategies: Fill-in-the-Propositions

  25. fossil fuels deforestation clouds atmospheric water vapor ocean CO2 Industrial Revolution longwave solar radiation global warming human activity evaporation transpiration greenhouse gas concentrations ice albedo photosynthesis feedback loops shortwave solar infrared radiation Strategies: Pre-Selected Term Mapping Design a concept map to show your understanding of CO2, a greenhouse gas, and its past and future effect on climate. Use the following concepts:

  26. Strategies: Advanced Organizer • develop an expert map of a course or a course topic • provide to students as an advance organizer prior to teaching and forreview purposes
