Study Notes
Course Information
- Course name: MEDI102
- Course topic: Concept Maps
- Instructor: Dr. Noor Alsalemi
- Date: October 2024
- Institution: Qatar University, College of Pharmacy
Learning Objectives
- Understand concept mapping and recognize learning theories behind it
- Describe the cognitive process associated with concept mapping
- Identify concept map components
- Describe and apply steps associated with concept mapping
What is a Concept Map?
- A tool that represents knowledge structure
- Illustrates relationships among relevant concepts within a subject domain
- Concepts are hierarchically organized within a knowledge framework
How Our Minds Use Concept Maps
- Constructivism: Learning is an active process where students construct knowledge by relating new knowledge to existing structures, deepening understanding
- Cognitivism: Learners condense numerous individual concepts into a schema, reducing working memory load and improving long-term memory organization
Concept Maps in Action
- Useful for various tasks, like reviewing lectures, planning events, analyzing budgets, brainstorming solutions to problems (e.g., prescribing errors), and structuring complex concepts (e.g., enzyme systems and medication metabolism)
Cognitive Process Associated with Concept Maps
- Elaboration: Linking new knowledge to existing long-term memory
- Refinement: Sorting information to maintain relevance
- Restructuring: Developing new knowledge maps as a basis for expertise
Components of a Concept Map
- Nodes: Ellipses representing different concepts
- Cross links: Lines connecting nodes
- Linking phrases: Labels describing the relationship between linked concepts
- Proposition: Combination of two nodes and their connecting label
Steps in Constructing a Concept Map
- Brainstorming: Identifying relevant facts, terms, and ideas
- Organizing: Grouping related items into categories
- Layout: Arranging concepts visually to represent interrelationships; most important concepts centrally located
- Linking: Connecting concepts with arrows, specifying relationships
- Finalizing: Converting map to a permanent format, titling, ensuring accuracy, organization and creativity
Mind Maps
- Organizing and representing knowledge
- Brainstorming ideas, visually arranging thoughts hierarchically
Technology for Concept Maps
- Specific online tools suggested (e.g., coggle.it, xmind.ai, lucidchart.com, mindmeister.com, canva.com)
Concept Maps vs. Mind Maps vs. Algorithms vs. Decision Maps
- Concept Maps: Organize and represent knowledge, showing relationships between concepts.
- Mind Maps: Brainstorm ideas, visually organize thoughts hierarchically
- Algorithms: Provide step-by-step procedures for problem-solving or tasks.
- Decision Maps: Guide decision-making by visually mapping out possible choices and their outcomes.
Mind Maps in Literature
- Students report gains in organizing, planning, decision making, and critical thinking skills via mind map assignments in medical courses
- Mind maps outperform traditional teaching methods in vocabulary recall, learning motivation, and willingness to communicate in a foreign language.
Mind Maps and Their Use
- Structuring information
- Linking ideas and concepts
- Understanding new ideas
- Enhancing memory recall
- Supporting brainstorming, creativity
Example Concept Maps
- Medication review (smoking cessation)
- Event planning (new student)
- Expenditure analysis (annual budget)
- Problem solving (prescribing errors)
- Understanding complex medical concepts
Example of an Epilepsy Concept Map
- Diagrams of the concepts illustrating epilepsy
- Relationships between epilepsy factors are shown graphically.
Example of a Mind Map
- A mind map depicting the management of insomnia
- Shows a network of topics related to treating Insomnia
- Examples of different approaches from not using medication to medication-based solutions
