CmapTools free software Use for implementing Chemistry Concept Maps with Teacher Training Students

In this paper, we present the use of the CmapTools software (free software developed by the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in order to help to construct concept maps in any field of knowledge). Concept maps have proved to be an appropriate means of representing and organising knowledge in a graphical way, and its use can help the students to construct meaningful learning in a effectively way. Although students need time to be familiar with it, the use of this tool achieves to accelerate and make more interesting and playful the process. In this work we show the process of elaboration of the concept maps of the inclusive concepts: chemical bonding, covalent bonds and macroscopic properties in relation to the type of bonding
