Workshop Objective
• The objective of this workshop is to introduce the use of concept mapping as a teaching/learning tool that can facilitate the process of teaching/learning.

What is a concept map?
• A concept map presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and ideas.
• It is a tangible way to display how a mind "sees" a particular topic.
• By constructing a concept map, you reflect on what you know and what you don't know.

Concept Maps: External Cognitive Structure
• Represent meaningful relationships• Visually represent conceptual understanding• Help defining your research problem • Facilitate active learning• Connect new information with old

How to Create a Concept Map
1. Select text and choose/list key concepts2. Organize concepts (hierarchy)3. Construct map using rank-ordered concepts
(usually need to “rework” maps)
4. Include valid links (proposistions), cross-links, and examples (events or objects)
5. Evaluate

Exercise (15mins)
• In a group of 3-4, work on constructing a concept map for a research question/ topic that is of interest for you and for your group,
• If possible, work with colleagues from your discipline/ department
• Some suggested topics can be: Wind Energy, Urban Agriculture, or The future of Higher Education in Canada, .. etc.

Constructing a Concept Map(Manual Method)
Brainstorming Phase:From the research topic and your memory, identify facts, terms, and ideas that you think are in anyway associated with the topic. Make a list of these items and print them neatly on small papers or Post-It® notes, one per note, in very brief form, i. e. a single word or short phrase.
![Page 10: Concept Mapping: A Tool for Teaching and Learning A presentation to Teaching Development Day for Students and Post-Doctoral Fellows September 7, 2010 Nasser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e6a5503460f94b67d95/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Constructing a Concept Map
Organizing Phase:Spread out your concepts on a flat surface so that all can be read easily and, together, create groups and sub-groups of related items. Try to group items to emphasize hierarchies. Identify terms that represent those higher categories and add them. Feel free to introduce new items that you omitted initially.

Constructing a Concept Map
Layout Phase:On a large sheet of paper, try to come up with an arrangement (layout) that best represents your collective understanding of the interrelationships and connections among groupings.
![Page 12: Concept Mapping: A Tool for Teaching and Learning A presentation to Teaching Development Day for Students and Post-Doctoral Fellows September 7, 2010 Nasser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e6a5503460f94b67d95/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Constructing a Concept Map
Linking Phase:Use lines with arrows to connect and show the relationship between connected items. Write a word or short phrase by each arrow to specify the relationship. Many arrows can originate or terminate on particularly important concepts.

Constructing a Concept Map
Finalizing the Concept Map:After you have agreed on an arrangement of items that coveys your understanding, you need to convert the concept map into a permanent form that others can view and discuss.

Review your concept map
• Accuracy and Thoroughness. Are the concepts and relationships correct? Are important concepts missing? Are any misconceptions apparent?
• Organization. Was the concept map laid out in a way that higher order relationships are apparent and easy to follow? Does it have a title?
• Appearance. Was the assignment done with care showing attention to details such as spelling and penmanship?
• Creativity. Are there unusual elements that aid communication or stimulate interest without being distracting?

Problem/ Project Based Learning and concept mapping
• In problem-based learning, a group of students can construct a concept map to “visualize” each group member’s thoughts of the problem.
• The concept map can help identifying the known concepts and what other concepts that need further investigation.
• The concept map can used to link to existing known information sources and what other information sources that are needed.

What IS and what is NOT a Concept Map?
![Page 18: Concept Mapping: A Tool for Teaching and Learning A presentation to Teaching Development Day for Students and Post-Doctoral Fellows September 7, 2010 Nasser](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e6a5503460f94b67d95/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concept Maps vs. Outlines
Concept maps:• LINK subordinate with superordinate showing
relationship• show relationships VISUALLY• provide visual CROSS REFERENCING using cross
links

Proposition: Without the industrial chemical reduction of atmospheric nitrogen, starvation would be rampant in third world countries.

Concept mapping software
• There is a number of available software that can be used for constructing concept maps.
• Some software are free/open source and some are proprietary packages
• Selection of the software is dependent on its features such as online editing, online collaboration, a server-client version.
