Concept mapping is The process of organizing and representing knowledge using concept maps.

One paragraph.

It is a network of concepts consisting of nodes and links;
A node represents a concept, and a link represents the relationship between concepts;
Concept mapping is designed to transform new concepts/propositions into the existing cognitive structures related to knowledge capture;
It is an effective way for a group to function without losing their individuality;
Concept mapping can be done for several reasons:
- To design complex structures;
- To generate ideas;
- To communicate ideas;
- To diagnose misunderstanding.
Six-step procedure for using a concept map as a tool:
- Preparation;
- Idea generation;
- Statement structuring;
- Representation;
- Interpretation;
- Utilization.

-[[Laddering]] and concept mapping are diagrammatic ways of representing knowledge in a
-particular area or ‘knowledge domain’. Laddering uses a hierarchical approach to show
-relationships between concepts (see Fig. 1).

-A [[Concept map|concept map]] is similar to a ladder. However, the layout usually starts from a central theme
-and shows concepts as nodes and the relationships between them as labelled arrows (see Fig. 2).

-Addering and concept mapping techniques can be used with interview techniques to model
-knowledge. Alternatively experts can contribute directly to the production of the models. In this
-way, ladders and concept maps provide a better way of identifying and capturing tacit
-knowledge rather than interviews alone.
