An Introduction to Concept Maps – Gavin W. Maneveldt & Louis Fourie
Concept maps are based on:
•Theory of Knowledge
•Theory of Learning
All knowledge is built from Concepts and Propositions.
David Ausubel’s assimilation theory:Meaningful Learning involves changing one’s current knowledge as a result of the comprehension of new knowledge.
•Research in Education (Joseph Novak)

All knowledge is built from Concepts and Propositions.
Foundation One:
Theory of Knowledge

An Introduction to Concept Maps – Gavin W. Maneveldt & Louis Fourie
Concept
“A perceived regularity in events or objects, or records of events or objects, designated by a label” (Joseph Novak).

Proposition
An expression of the relation between concepts. A basic unit of meaning or expression.
•e.g. organisms are composed of cells
•e.g. ship is blue
•e.g. cats have kittens

Concept Maps
Represent knowledge using diagrams that express
concepts and propositions

The importance of the linking phrases
Without the relations, our knowledge would not
“cohere”.

David Ausubel (1968)
“If I had to reduce all of educational psychology to just one principle I would say this: The most important single factor influencing learning is what the learner already knows. Ascertain this and teach him accordingly.”
* Epigraph, Educational Psychology: A cognitive view
![Page 16: Introduction to concept maps theory sept2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5549d06db4c905a97a8b4a79/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
An Introduction to Concept Maps – Gavin W. Maneveldt & Louis Fourie
Key ideas
1.Distinction between rote and meaningful learning.
![Page 17: Introduction to concept maps theory sept2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5549d06db4c905a97a8b4a79/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
An Introduction to Concept Maps – Gavin W. Maneveldt & Louis Fourie
Key ideas
2.Meaningful Learning requires:1.“The material learned MUST be
conceptually clear and presented with language and examples relatable to the learner’s prior knowledge.”
2.“The learner MUST possess prior knowledge.”
3.“The learner MUST choose to learn meaningfully.”
David Ausubel (1968)
![Page 18: Introduction to concept maps theory sept2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5549d06db4c905a97a8b4a79/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
An Introduction to Concept Maps – Gavin W. Maneveldt & Louis Fourie
Key ideas
2.In the process of meaningful learning, people naturally construct meanings for concepts and propositions based on experiences, building up their knowledge structure.
![Page 19: Introduction to concept maps theory sept2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/5549d06db4c905a97a8b4a79/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

… a process is called
“assimilation”
Meaningful Learning involves changing one’s current knowledge as a result of the comprehension of new knowledge.
Ausubel’s Theory of Learning

Benefits for the Designer
The process of drawing the map: Helps designer understand the domain. Is a creative process – new discoveries
are made as the map is drawn. Helps establish credibility with the team.
The map itself: Offers the first chance to interject the
user as a guiding concept for the product.
