A tool which can represent a knowledge structure by illustrating the relationships among relevant concepts within a given subject domain Concepts related to a certain domain are linked in a hierarchically organized knowledge framework MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 4 How our minds use concept maps? Constructivism Learning is an active process in which students construct their knowledge By relating and integrating new knowledge with already existing knowledge structure, learners develop deeper and richer understanding and better use of knowledge Cognitivism Learners reduce the large number of individual information elements (concepts) in the map to one schema instead of several schemata This schema organizes knowledge in long-term memory and substantially reduces working memory load MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 5 Concept maps in action J MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 6  Cognitive Process Associated with Concept Maps Developing a knowledge structure through concept map involves: Elaboration (i.e. linking the new knowledge into what is already stored in long-term memory) Refinement (i.e. sorting the information to keep what is relevant) Restructuring (i.e. developing new knowledge maps which represent the basis for developing expertise) https://study.com/academy/lesson/concept-map-definition- examples.html Concept Map: Definition & Examples MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 7 Examples of Concept Maps Concept map for reviewing a lecture on medications used for smoking cessation for planning a new students’ event on campus for analyzing your expenditures and annual budget For brainstorming and finding a solution for a prescribing errors For structuring a complex concept in your mind (e.g., the enzyme system and medication metabolism) MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 8 Let’s make one concept map Critical thinking MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 9 Technology for creating concepts maps https://coggle.it/ https://xmind.ai/MQk61X29 https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/ https://www.mindmeister.com/ https://www.canva.com/ MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 10 Concept maps vs mind maps vs algorithms vs decsion maps Concept Maps Mind Maps Algorithms Decision Maps Organize and Guide decision- Brainstorm ideas represent Provide a step-by- making by visually and visually knowledge, step procedure to mapping out Purpose organize thoughts showing solve a problem or choices and their in a hierarchical relationships perform a task. possible structure. between concepts. outcomes. Visual Mapping Tools MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 11  Mind maps in literature Students believed that they gained skills like organizing and planning, decision making, and critical thinking from the mind map assignments in medical physics course. Using mind maps outperformed the conventional teaching and learning methods in terms of gains in vocabulary recall and retention, learning motivation, and willingness to communicate in English as a foreign language course.

Brainstorming Stage Identify facts, terms, and ideas associated with the topic. 2. Organizing Phase Create groups and sub-groups of related items. 3. Layout Phase Develop a visual arrangement that represents: A collective understanding of the interrelationships and connections among groupings. A consistent hierarchy, where the most important concepts are placed centrally or at the top. MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 18 Steps in Constructing a Concept Map 4. Linking Phase Draw lines with arrows that originate from or terminate on particularly important concepts. Write a verb to specify the relationship between connected items. 5. Finalizing Phase Convert the concept map into a permanent form that others can view, understand, and discuss. Give your concept map a title. Ensure the following: Accuracy and thoroughness Organization Appearance Creativity https://study.com/academy/lesson/using-concept-maps- for-differentiated-instruction.html MEDI102 - AY24 - BM, NA 19  Let’s make a more complex concept map Brainstorming: Identify key facts and ideas. Cluster headache Organizing: Group Migraine related items into NSAIDs categories. Layout: Arrange Triptans concepts with a clear Stress Headache hierarchy. Brain tumors Linking: Connect Headaches concepts with arrows Nausea and specify Ergotamine relationships.
