Abstract
Concept Map is a graphic device in which the concepts are linked by propositions leading to the precision and enhancement of meaning of the concept.” It is a schematic device for representing a set of concept meanings embedded in a hierarchy from most general concept to specific concepts of a learning unit. The study aimed to examine the concept mapping in teaching science among IX std students. The investigator adopted experimental method to study the concept mapping in teaching science among ix std students. For this study a sample of 60 IX std students from schools which are situated in Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu. The findings reveal that is inferred that there is a difference in concept mapping in teaching science among ix std students.
Highlights
A concept map is a graphical representation of the relationship among terms
As students are introduced to new science concepts, they embark on a cognitive process of constructing meaning, reflect on their understanding
Hypothesis 1: There is no significant difference between the pre test and post test scores of the control group of IX standard, exposed to teaching of science using conventional teaching, and the pre test and post test scores of the experimental group of IX standard, exposed to teaching of science using concept maps
Summary
A concept map is a graphical representation of the relationship among terms. This will sound familiar if you have used graphic organizers or visual learning tools such as Inspiration software. We use a type of concept map in which students are provided only the terms. There are many variations in the way you can design concept map activities, openended activities that allow students to construct their own map structure are the most revealing. As students are introduced to new science concepts, they embark on a cognitive process of constructing meaning, reflect on their understanding. Concept maps allow students to think deeply about science by helping them to better understand and organize what they learn, and to store and retrieve information more efficiently.
