    Concept mapping is a visual representation that connects key concepts with other related concepts. There are four main types of concept maps: spider maps, hierarchical maps, flow charts, and systemic maps. Concept mapping helps learners engage in active learning by connecting new ideas to existing knowledge through a diagrammatic representation. The process of creating a concept map involves brainstorming ideas about a topic, organizing those ideas on a page with the most important in the center, and connecting ideas with lines and descriptions to show relationships between concepts. Learners can then transfer their paper concept map into a digital format using concept mapping software.

    What is concept mapping?


    Concept mapping is a visual representation of a key concept connecting with other
    interdependent concepts, which can be divided into four main types: spider maps,
    hierarchical maps, flow charts and systemic maps. The following graphs are concept
    maps represented in boxes or circles with connecting lines that symbolize their
    relationships. The relationships are specified using linking words written on the lines.
    Why concept mapping?
    Take 10 minutes and reflect on your education journey from primary to higher
    education, you will recall that the dominant method of instruction in your school
    years, including higher education was teacher led. As a learner the main task was how
    to memorize what seemed more essential to pass the exams. It is now understood that
    such teaching methods do not lead towards deeper learning. More active learning
    techniques are needed, in order, to help learners engage and motivate, and ultimately,
    shift from passive (surface) learning to deep (active) learning.
    One such technique is ‘concept mapping’, developed by Joseph D. Novak in the
    1970s. A concept map is a way of discovering ideas, knowledge and relationships
    depicted through a diagrammatic way. As you can see in the figure above, the key
    ideas, words or images are connected by arrows with linking words that explain their
    connection. In a way, concept mapping is a theme-based learning approach
    underpinned by constructivist and transformative learning perspectives, helping
    learners to shift from passive to active learning. It helps learners to brainstorm and
    generate ideas, organize and prioritize information, activate prior knowledge and
    construct new knowledge by linking new learning with existing knowledge. It can be
    thus used as an assessing tool, besides fostering meaningful learning.
    Methodological Procedures
    First, GENERATE a list of words, phrases, and ideas about the topic. The goal at this
    point of the activity is to brainstorm without judgment, so avoid elaborating your lists
    since it is a brainstorming exercise.
    Next, use a piece of paper and write the topic in the center. SORT the ideas from your
    lists, graphically organizing them on the page in a way that makes sense to you. For
    example, you might place ideas that are central to the topic near the middle of the
    page and more concrete ideas at the edges. You might also put similar ideas together
    or arrange them vertically to suggest a progression.
    After you have generated and sorted your lists, CONNECT ideas with lines and
    arrows. You should write a brief explanation above each line that describes the
    connections they are making.
    Next, to open the e-concept mapping tool such as Cmap and transfer all the paper
    concept map in the digital format and ask them to submit it to the instructor.
