The search for more effective, alternative instructional strategies has led to focusing attention on the metacognitive strategy of concept mapping.

This study investigated the relationship between the concept mapping heuristic and anxiety‐a variable that has been found to have a militating effect on learning. A total of 51 senior secondary school students formed the sample of the study. Using a pre‐post‐test experimental design, the experimental subjects had a 6‐week treatment of learning selected science concepts through the concept mapping strategy. Analysis of the data...
