    Concept mapping is a graphic organizer that represents knowledge in a hierarchical structure. It begins with a main concept or idea at the top, which then branches out to show how that main idea can be broken down into more specific topics connected by linking words or phrases. Components include concepts in boxes or circles, arranged from general to specific from top to bottom. Concept maps originate from constructivism and help learners organize knowledge by relating new concepts to existing knowledge. They are useful for brainstorming, communicating ideas, and integrating new knowledge. Concept mapping is used in education and various industries to guide learning and achieve different objectives.

    Concept Mapping

    Concept Map
    • A concept map is a type of graphic
    organizer used to help students organize
    and represent knowledge of a subject.
    Concept maps begin with a main idea (or
    concept) and then branch out to show how
    that main idea can be broken down into
    specific topics.
    COMPONENTS OF CONCEPT MAP

    1.Concepts are enclosed in boxes or circles


    usually.
    2.Concepts go from top to bottom, in a hierarchical
    fashion.
    3.The main concept(s) are usually in a bigger box
    or circle at the top of the concept map and other
    concepts branch down from it.
    4.The verbs on the branches connecting concepts
    are called linking words or linking phrases,
    which denote the relationship between the two
    concepts.
    How is a Concept Map Defined?

    • Concept maps originate from the


    philosophy of knowledge called
    constructivism. Specifically, the followers
    of this philosophical view believe that
    knowledge is something that is
    constructed by learners. Precisely,
    constructivists consider that existing
    knowledge is utilized as a model for
    understanding and learning new
    knowledge.
    How to Build a Concept Map
    • Start with a main idea, topic, or issue to focus on.
    A helpful way to determine the context of your concept map is to
    choose a focus question—something that needs to be solved or a
    conclusion that needs to be reached. Once a topic or question is
    decided on, that will help with the hierarchical structure of the
    concept map.

    • Then determine the key concepts


    Find the key concepts that connect and relate to your main idea and
    rank them; most general, inclusive concepts come first, then link to
    smaller, more specific concepts.

    • Finish by connecting concepts--creating linking


    phrases and words
    Once the basic links between the concepts are created, add cross-
    links, which connect concepts in different areas of the map, to
    further illustrate the relationships and strengthen student’s
    understanding and knowledge on the topic.
    Benefits of Concept Mapping
    Concept mapping serves several purposes for
    learners:
    • Helping students brainstorm and generate new
    ideas
    • Encouraging students to discover new concepts
    and the propositions that connect them
    • Allowing students to more clearly communicate
    ideas, thoughts and information
    • Helping students integrate new concepts with
    older concepts
    • Enabling students to gain enhanced knowledge
    of any topic and evaluate the information
    Where Concept Mapping Finds Its Use?

    • In the course of the years, concept


    mapping found its use in various industries
    and in different contexts. Today, concept
    mapping has become a practical method
    that can be used by students, teachers,
    newbies, and experts, individually or in a
    group, as it can serve as a guide towards
    achieving different objectives.
