Kowalchuk, Elizabeth – 1997
This paper examines differences between beginning and experienced art teachers' perceptions of teaching and learning. The paper first discusses how experienced and novice art teachers may vary in their thinking and approaches to instructional content. It then focuses on the results of a project that investigated curriculum development and teacher…

Moreira, Marco A. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1979
Discusses how concept maps with two dimensional diagrams which show hierarchical relationships among concepts of a discipline can be used in teaching physics. An example for teaching a course in electromagnetism at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil is presented. (HM)

Paulson, Barbara L.; Edwards, Mark H. – Canadian Journal of Counselling, 1997
Used a concept-mapping process to understand parents' (N=25) expectations of an elementary school counselor's role. Parents requested that the counselor become highly involved in providing services that involve support, referral, education, and information. Parents expected that the school counselor would collaborate extensively with them. Other…

Regis, Alberto; Albertazzi, Pier Giorgio – Journal of Chemical Education, 1996
Describes the use of concept maps as a metacognitive tool to help chemistry teachers and learners improve teaching and learning. Concept maps were used in response to changes in the conceptions of the nature of scientific knowledge and in how learning occurs. Concept maps are valuable in documenting and exploring the restructuring of conceptual…

O'Dowd, Mina – Compare, 2001
Argues that policy-oriented educational research produced a new kind of knowledge: third order knowledge. Defines third-order knowledge as knowledge of and for experts whose purpose is the legislation and regulation of everyday lives. Proposes that expert knowledge motivates a critical analysis contextualized in a historical study of…

Nakhleh, Mary B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1994
Discusses appropriate methodologies for investigating how learning occurs in the laboratory. Presents two techniques, concept mapping and V-diagramming, which can be effective research tools in probing students' understanding of chemical principles. These techniques can also be effective instructional tools that help students integrate lecture…

Gordon, Carol A. – School Library Media Research, 2002
Discusses research traditions in education and in information retrieval and explores the theory of expected information which uses formulas derived from the Fano measure and Bayesian statistics. Demonstrates its application in a study on the effects of concept mapping on the search behavior of tenth-grade biology students. (Author/LRW)

Jacobs-Lawson, Joy M.; Hershey, Douglas A. – Teaching of Psychology, 2002
Explains that concept maps can be utilized as a method of alternative assessment in psychology courses. Evaluates the usefulness of concept maps by examining student concept maps at the beginning and end of the semester. States that concept maps are useful in assessing student knowledge. (CMK)

Schmid, Richard F.; Telaro, Giovanni – Journal of Educational Research, 1990
Concept mapping, which requires learners to plot concepts and their interrelationships in a meaningful organizational network, was compared with an established curriculum approach. The usefulness of the technique is discussed in terms of its ability to individualize and raise the quality of learning. (JD)

Stein, Harry – Science and Children, 1988
Provides suggestions for note-taking from books, lectures, visual presentations, and laboratory experiments to enhance student knowledge, memory, and length of attention span during instruction. Describes topical and structural outlines, visual mapping, charting, three-column note-taking, and concept mapping. Benefits and application of…

Cobern, William W.; And Others – Science Teacher, 1995
Presents a lesson, Scientific Literacy Is a Lifetime Skill, that provides thought and discussion on science as an aspect of everyday life. Uses concept mapping to help students explore from their perspective the relationship between formal science education and real-world situations. (JRH)
Descriptors: Concept Mapping, Cooperative Learning, Lesson Plans, Science Activities

Vargas, Elena Maldonado; Alvarez, Hector Joel – Science Scope, 1992
Presents a concept-map scheme that provides a consistent syntax and grading system for using concept maps as assessment tools. The grading scheme awards points for demonstrating hierarchies, relationships, branching, and cross links. Examples showing the use of the key are presented. (PR)

Rye, James A.; Rubba, Peter A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1998
Investigates the effectiveness of two different types of interviews: one that embeds a concept map, and one that does not embed a concept map in order to elicit post-instructional understandings. Focuses on students' understandings of chlorofluorocarbons and their role in global atmospheric change. Contains 71 references. (DDR)

Rice, Diana C.; Ryan, Joseph M.; Samson, Sara M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1998
Reports on a year-long study implemented in grade seven life-science classes with the students' regular teacher serving as a teacher researcher. Results suggest that concept mapping may be useful in assessing declarative and procedural knowledge. Contains 43 references. (DDR)
