A teoria subjacente aos mapas conceituais e como elaborá-los e usá-los
Joseph D. Novak,Alberto J. Cañas +1 more
TL;DR: This text presents the origin of the concept map tool and some of the early history in the development of this tool, including the idea that creative production of new knowledge can be seen as a very high level of meaningful learning, and concept mapping can facilitate the process.

CmapTools: A Knowledge Modeling and Sharing Environment
Alberto J. Cañas,Greg Hill,Roger Carff,Niranjan Suri,James Lott,Gloria Gomez,Thomas C. Eskridge,Mario Arroyo,Rodrigo Carvajal +8 more
TL;DR: CmapTools is a software environment developed at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition that empowers users, individually or collaboratively, to represent their knowledge using concept maps, to share them with peers and colleagues, and to publish them.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origins of the Concept Mapping Tool and the Continuing Evolution of the Tool
Joseph D. Novak,Alberto J. Cañas +1 more
TL;DR: The integration of concept mapping software programs with the WWW and other new technologies permits a new kind of concept map-centred learning environment wherein learners build their own knowledge models, individually or collaboratively, and these can serve as a basis for life-long meaningful learning.
Book ChapterDOI
Concept maps: integrating knowledge and information visualization
Alberto J. Cañas,Roger Carff,Greg Hill,Marco Carvalho,Marco Arguedas,Thomas C. Eskridge,James Lott,Rodrigo Carvajal +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown how concept map-based knowledge models can be used to organize repositories of information in a way that makes them easily browsable, and how concept maps can improve searching algorithms for the Web.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theoretical Note on Concepts and the Need for Cyclic Concept Maps.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine concepts and propositions from a theoretical perspective, and establish the need for and develop an extension to Concept Maps (CMaps), called Cyclic Concept Maps, which are considered to be an appropriate tool for representing knowledge of functional or dynamical relationships between concepts.
