Concept Maps as a Tool for Engineering Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concept map application in engineering education is described. An effective role of concept mapping in the overall knowledge domain ontology is stressed. It is shown that the concept maps are a suitable tool to support teachers in promoting students’ comprehension of learning material contents and improving their understanding of new concepts. Development of concept maps helps students to see what they have acquired from the classes, supports them in making connections between new and prior concepts, and reinforces knowledge integration by providing students with an activity that promotes such integration. Concept maps are regarded as a valuable tool of assessment procedures, as they provide an explicit and overt representation of learners’ knowledge, informative, tutoring and reflective feedbacks tailored to learners’ individual characteristics and needs.
