EFFECT OF CONCEPT MAPPING STRATEGY ON SCIENCE ACHIEVEMENT IN RELATION TO SCIENTIFIC APTITUDE AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

JAGADEESH. B.

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Concept map is a device for representing the conceptual structure of a subject/discipline in a two-dimensional form, which is analogous to the road map. A concept, as defined by Novak, is regularity in objects or events designated by a specific label. Concept maps are diagrammatic representations, which show meaningful relationships between concepts in the form of propositions. Propositions are two or more concept labels linked by words, which provide information on relationships or describe connections between concepts.
