Concept Mapping and the Cartography of Cognition.

Peer reviewed

Wandersee, James H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990

Because concept maps are designed to find out what the learner knows about a subject and are, in effect, maps of cognition, this article synthesizes relevant facts, concepts, and principles from cartography and applies them to concept mapping. The metaphor of the map and its applicability for representing scientific concepts are discussed. (PR)
