The procedure for constructing concept maps is more comprehensive and facilitates student use better than previous procedures and the procedure for evaluating concept maps has been refined to the point whereby the classroom teacher can readily apply it as part of his/her teaching strategy.
Abstract
The procedures devised for mapping and evaluating maps has been applied to a number of different topic areas both for senior chemistry and for junior science. We believe that this procedure for constructing concept maps is more comprehensive and facilitates student use better than previous procedures. The procedure for evaluating concept maps has also been refined to the point whereby the classroom teacher can readily apply it as part of his/her teaching strategy. The research for this paper further supports concept mapping both as an instructional and evaluative tool.

The effect of talk and writing on learning science: An exploratory study

TL;DR: The authors investigated the role of talk and writing on learning science and found that combining talk with writing appears to enhance the retention of science learning over time, and that gender and ability may be important mediating variables that determine the effectiveness of talking and writing for enhancing learning.

An Augmented-Reality-Based Concept Map to Support Mobile Learning for Science

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated AR with concept maps to form a concept-mapped AR (CMAR) scaffold, and the results showed that students in the CMAR group performed significantly better than those in the AR group.

The relations between disciplinary and pedagogical knowledge and the length of teaching experience of biology and geography teachers

TL;DR: The results were that the disciplinary and pedagogical knowledge of teachers of both biology and geography is quite unsatisfactory, the two types of knowledge did not improve with experience and the latter slightly deteriorated, and the teachers mastered their disciplinary knowledge better than their pedag logical knowledge.

Should concept maps be scored numerically

TL;DR: In this paper, the problems of scoring concept maps objectively are discussed, and the limitations of analytic methods of scoring concepts maps are discussed as well as their limitations in assessing their performance on genetics examination type questions.

The use of cognitive mapping in teaching and learning strategies

TL;DR: In this article, the first five criteria of Table 3 were probably met and the subsequent checks may enable us to claim that criterion 6 is also met, and there is little doubt that without it most chemistry teachers would remain sceptical about the worth of such an “extra” set of activities.
