A meta-analytical review of Novak's concept mapping
by Campbell, Laurie O., Ed.D., REGENT UNIVERSITY, 2009, 104 pages; 3373638

Abstract:

The current systematic review furthers the field of Novak's concept mapping founded on Ausubel meaningful learning theory. Based upon 46 effects from 38 studies, the results indicate that Novak's concept maps are effective learning tools for enhancing and promoting achievement among students. Within the learning domains of Science, English/English as a Second Language, Education, and Electives, concept mapping improves achievement. However, within the learning domain of Math, concept mapping groups did not demonstrate improvement of achievement. Both computer-generated and non-computer generated maps are effective means for creating maps, though non-computer-generated maps were slightly more effective. Suggestions for future research by learning domain and by means of map generation are included.
