Summary
One paragaph summary which summarises the main ideas of the article.
Description 1
- 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.
- Similar to concept mapping, a semantic net is a collection of nodes linked together to form a net:
- A knowledge developer can graphically represent descriptive/declarative knowledge through a net;
- Each idea of interest is usually represented by a node linked by lines (called arcs) which shows relationships between nodes.
