-===== Concept Mapping (Joseph Novak) =====
+====== Concept Mapping ======
-Concept mapping is a [[Cognitivism|cognitivist learning model]] in Novak's words described as "a **visual representation of the relationships between concepts** held by an individual, materials of a lecture, textbook, or laboratory exercise." **Concept maps should help both sides in the educational process** to learn more meaningfully.
+===== General =====
+Concept mapping is a [[learning_paradigms:|cognitivist learning model]] developed by [[http://www.ihmc.us/groups/jnovak/|Joseph Novak]] and his colleagues in 1972 as they worked on understanding how children's knowledge of science changes(([[http://aer.sagepub.com/content/28/1/117.abstract|Novak, J. D., & Musonda, D. A Twelve-Year Longitudinal Study of Science Concept Learning. American Educational Research Journal, 28(1), 117-153. 1991.]])). First concept maps were, however, proposed by some other authors as well((Stewart, J., Van Kirk, J., & Rowell, R. Concept maps: A tool for use in biology teaching. American Biology Teacher, 41(3), 171-175. 1979.)), but concept maps in their fullest form were introduced by Novak in 1981((Novak, J. Applying learning psychology and philosophy to biology teaching.  The American Biology Teacher, 43(1), 12 – 20. 1981.)). In Novak's words, concept map is "//a **visual representation of the relationships between concepts** held by an individual, materials of a lecture, textbook, or laboratory exercise//. By concept mapping even old and familiar material, we often
+recognize new relationships and meaning."(([[http://uwf.edu/jgould/ConceptMappingIntro.pdf|Novak, J. D. Introduction to concept mapping.]])) Novak's works were influenced by [[http://www.davidausubel.org/|David Ausubel]]'s [[learning_theories:assimilation theory]].
