Concept maps provide a powerful way to help students organize, represent, and understand knowledge. First coined by Novak and Gowin in 1984, concept maps now have many updated uses in classrooms to help students grasp the connections between key points. Concept mapping may be applied in any academic discipline to make better sense of a reading, document learning or thinking, or brainstorm a project. Used expertly, they can substantially increase student understanding of difficult topics. There is growing recognition of the value of using a variety of formats and styles in teaching and facilitating. With concept maps, faculty members can broaden their teaching repertoire while showing students how to learn in authentic and active ways. In Concept Mapping: How Visual Connections Can Improve Learning, Alice Cassidy, Ph.D. introduces the idea of concept mapping and explains how it can be used to facilitate explanations and raise achievement in the classroom.
