Using Vee and Concept Maps in Collaborative Settings: Elementary Education Majors Construct Meaning in Physical Science Courses.
Roth, Wolff-Michael; Roychoudhury, Anita
School Science and Mathematics, v93 n5 p237-44 May-Jun 1993
Discusses Vee mapping, a technique to assist students in categorizing the relationship between the conceptual and procedural aspects of science. Presents a study to investigate elementary education majors' (n=27) use of the Vee heuristic and concept mapping for the construction of knowledge; attitudes toward learning science in collaborative groups; and knowledge of the process of learning science.
