What concept maps are and why they are excellent tools

Reference no: EM132989695

Assessment in this subject is based on constructing and demonstrating knowledge using concept maps.

Joseph Novak and his colleagues created the concept map as part of a search to find better ways to help people learn. His 1984 book "Learning How to Learn" was a starting point for a series of studies that lead us to concept mapping as an excellent way of learning, showing what you know and for teachers to assess what you know.

In Novak's view, humans learn by building on knowledge that they already have and establishing links between existing knowledge to new knowledge. That is to say knowledge is constructed. At WIN, you learn about constructivist theory when you study MB211 Change Management. Concept maps are a tool for demonstrating existing knowledge and visualising the relationships between existing and new knowledge. Because they are fundamentally visual tools, concept maps are also a good way to map knowledge in a way that is easy to understand and remember.
