Peer reviewedWillerman, Marvin; Mac Harg, Richard A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1991
A control group of 40 eighth graders completed a unit on elements and compounds. An experimental group of 42 completed concept maps on the same topic. Results of a one-tailed T test demonstrated the usefulness of concept maps as advance organizers. (KR)
