Concept Mapping

Concept Mapping is very useful to identify, understand, and organize the concepts we plan to teach. The students can build their own map by their understanding of the subject. It will make them more creative and motivated because they see all concepts in a good visual map. They can remember the subject and the details by understanding the map clearly. They can put some relations between the categories. When the students use the software to create the concept map they will make the information meaningful to them, they will add more knowledge to what they already know.


There are many types of concept mapping like sequential map and hierarchical map. We can choose which type is suitable to what we need or what we teach.
The students will use the concept mapping in every subject, while they study they can put the topic name then draw arrows to the headlines then to the sub headlines, they can put examples and make relations to other headlines. They can use concept mapping while listening to the lecture which makes it easy to remember the important points in the class.
