  1. Key Ideas Underlying Concept Maps and How They are Used Joseph D. Novak Professor Emeritus, Cornell University Senior Research Scientist Institute for Human and Machine Cognition jnovak@ihmc.us Haines City, FL, February 25, 2006

  2. Based on: • A Theory of Knowledge • A Theory of Learning

  3. A Theory of Knowledge All knowledge is built up from Concepts and Propositions

  4. A Theory of Knowledge Concept: A perceived regularity or pattern in events or objects, or records of events or objects, designated by a label

  5. A Theory of Knowledge Proposition: Two or more concepts combined to form a statement about something: a unit of meaning

  6. A Theory of Knowledge Concept Maps: A tool to represent the Structure of knowledge

  7. Concept Map about Concept Maps

  8. New Theory of Learning Key idea: Each person must construct her/his own meanings for concepts and propositions from experiences over time, building her/his knowledge structure

  9. Traditional Model of Instruction

  10. Information Input Short-Term Memory Affective System Motor System Working Memory Long-Term Memory Key Memory Systems of the Brain

  11. A 4-year old concept mapping relatives

  12. Learning may vary from highly rote to highly meaningful

  13. Learning by rote usually leads to rapid forgetting.

  14. A first grade child studying electricity in an Audio- Tutorial lesson in 1966

  15. Birth of Concept Maps Overwhelmed by hundreds of transcripts from interviews with children, we sought a better way of representing changes in children’s understanding of science concepts Thus was born the tool we call concept maps

  16. Paul’s ideas about the nature of matter , Grade 2

  17. Paul’s ideas about the nature of matter , Grade 12

  18. The Institute for Human and Machine Cognitioncreated CmapTools in the 1990’s and continue to refine the tools.

  19. One of the concept maps for Algebra 1 created at UNF.

  20. David Ferrera’s concept map. Web site http://www.geocities.com/dmacias_iest/Conceptual.html

  21. C-Maps as Navigational Tool

  22. An overview concept map for Mars Exploration showing some resources attached to this map.

  23. CmapTools together with the Internet Permits development of a New Model for Education

  24. We can provide “expert skeleton” concept maps to guide learners.

  25. Proyecto Conectate seeks to introduce all 4th-6th students in Panama to use CmapTools and the Internet to build their own knowledge models

  26. Panamanian chidren are excited about learning this way.

  27. All kinds of learning experiences can be integrated to create a digital portfolio.

  28. You are pioneers who shall help to transform Mathematics Education.

  29. You are pioneers who will help to transform education in Florida!

  30. Thank you
