Study Notes

Concept Maps

A concept map is a two-dimensional planning graphic that organizes academic concepts in a hierarchical structure.
The hierarchical structure places general concepts with high comprehensiveness and low specificity at the top, with more specific concepts at the base.

Types of Concept Maps

Network Map
- Resembles a spider's web, with a central idea branching out to sub-topics in a radial pattern.
- Each sub-topic can further branch out into smaller sub-ideas.
Flowchart
- Used to clarify practical steps and demonstrate the order of tasks to be followed.
- Also used to illustrate the results of following specific options.
Hierarchy Diagram
- Shows the order and degree of things, often used in organizational charts to define company structures.
- Used to determine roles and positions based on levels and functions.
