Haycock, Ken – Emergency Librarian, 1997
Reviews research findings that indicate students learn more and produce better research products following planned, integrated information skills instruction by the teacher and teacher-librarian together. Topics include the search process, search strategies, concept mapping, integrated resource-based instruction, and the need for formal planning.…

Ribbins, Peter; Gunter, Helen – Educational Management & Administration, 2002
The first of two linked articles discusses leadership and associated concepts. Outlines and illustrates a mapping typology built around five knowledge domains (conceptual, critical, humanist, evaluative, and instrumental) and seven factors (purpose, focus, context, method, audience, communication, and impact). (Contains 9 notes and 93 references.)…

Nietfeld, John – Professional Educator, 2002
Describes schema representation, an authentic summative assessment tool for assessing preservice teachers' mental models for teaching. Schema representations require students to integrate and synthesize what they have learned in class and create a representation of how they plan to use their new knowledge in the classroom. They elaborate on the…

Cliburn, Joseph W., Jr. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1990
The theory behind concept mapping and advance organizers is reviewed. Special variations of concept mapping are presented. Evaluation using concept maps and long-term retention are discussed. (CW)

Morine-Dershimer, Greta – Journal of Teacher Education, 1989
Results are reported from a study which examines preservice teachers' changes in thinking about both content and pedagogy associated with experiences in reflective peer teaching units and tests the value of preconcept and postconcept mapping as a measure of change in pedagogical decision making. (IAH)

Staver, John R.; Bay, Mary – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Examines 11 elementary science texts in terms of conceptual structure and reasoning demands using concept maps. Reports that (1) the conceptual structures vary widely across texts; (2) most of the structures are well defined; and (3) the reasoning demands are above the developmental capabilities of most of primary-level children.

Small, Parker A., Jr. – Journal of Medical Education, 1988
Medical education must put more emphasis on teaching that improves students' abilities to make associations. Two teaching methods that can promote development of the necessary association skills in clinical contexts--"wait time" and "concept mapping"--are briefly reviewed. (Author/MLW)

Todd, Ross J.; Kirk, Joyce – Education for Information, 1995
Reports on the application of concept mapping in information science and identifies the benefits for teachers and students. Demonstrates that concept mapping is a promising technique for extending theoretical, concept-based knowledge; caters to individual learning differences; facilitates communication of knowledge by learners in verbal and…

Esiobu, Gladys O.; Soyibo, Kola – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1995
Verified the efficacy of concept and Vee mapping heuristics under cooperative, cooperative-competitive, and individualistic whole-class learning conditions in improving (n=808) eighth graders' achievement in ecology and genetics. Experimental groups achieved significantly better than the control groups; students in cooperative-competitive…

Hasemann, Klaus; Mansfield, Helen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1995
Presents 2 mathematical projects involving (n=25) fourth-grade and (n=26) sixth-grade students' concept mapping (on fractions and on geometry) that allowed monitoring of students' individual understanding over time and provided information about students' conceptual understanding. (37 references) (Author/MKR)

Briscoe, Carol; LaMaster, Sarah Ulerick – American Biology Teacher, 1991
The potential of concept mapping, a learning strategy, coupled with assessments oriented toward problem solving used to facilitate meaningful learning, is examined. How students make and use concept maps in studying and the factors that influence the way they are made and used are discussed. Sample concept maps are included. (KR)

Jegede, Olugbemiro J.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990
This study sought to find out whether concept mapping reduces anxiety and thereby enhances achievement in biology. A total of 51 grade-10 students participated in the experiment. Findings indicate concept mapping is significantly more effective than traditional teaching in enhancing learning in biology and reducing student anxiety toward biology.…

Romance, Nancy R.; Vitale, Michael R. – College Teaching, 1999
Explores the use of concept mapping as a college teaching technique, drawing on research on conceptual knowledge, concept formation, and classroom applications and variations. Specific activities for concept mapping and modeling are offered, and the nature of the teacher's and student's role is discussed. (MSE)

Williams, Melody Ann – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1997
Three self-instructional science modules were developed and pilot tested in the Jamaican secondary education system for the concept mapping, cooperative grouping, and laboratory approaches. Formative evaluation revealed that the modules enhanced teachers' understanding of the Reform Of Secondary Education (R.O.S.E.) methodology; however content of…
