Novak, Alberto J. Concept Mapping What is it? An example of a Concept Map How do I do it? You can produce a concept map by following these steps: Identify the words and phrases that make up the system you are mapping. Extract this language from contextual inquiry or interview transcripts, or free-associate it through brainstorming. To help you identify the language, you might imagine yourself walking through scenarios you've observed; each time you think of a person, item, action, policy, or influence, capture the thought with a tool such as Excel or on a large sheet of paper; a moderately complex domain may have thousands of relevant terms.
Identify the most important terms: typically people, groups, or policies. These will serve as containers and "anchoring" elements for the other words and ideas. Write these words in big letters on a large sheet of paper. This is the preliminary concept map. Bogden, C.

Novak defined concepts as regularities in events or objects which are designated by a sign or symbol. A most significant contribution of Johnson's model is the distinction he makes between curriculum and instruction. A second instructional use of concept maps is to have students construct maps describing what they know about a given subject area. Since Bogden in usingt his sort of evaluative method was actually engaged in ranking as opposed to assessing, any "holes" or missing parts of answers, although impossible to interpret, were still a part of the evaluation and thus the grade The CmapTools Software Toolkit The CmapTools Caas et al.
