Peer reviewedOkebukola, Peter Akinsola – Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, 1992
Describes a study of concept mapping as a means of learning problem-solving skills. Concludes that the concept mapping subjects were significantly more successful at solving biological test questions than were the controls. Reports no significant differences between cooperative and individual mapping and mixed results for gender. (DK)
