Direct linkSafayeni, Frank; Derbentseva, Natalia; Canas, Alberto J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
This article examines concepts and propositions from a theoretical perspective, and establishes the need for and develops an extension to Concept Maps (CMaps), called Cyclic Concept Maps (Cyclic CMaps). Cyclic CMaps are considered to be an appropriate tool for representing knowledge of functional or dynamical relationships between concepts. CMaps,…

Peer reviewedHoz, Ron; Bowman, Dan; Chacham, Tova – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Students (N=14) in a geomorphology course took an objective geomorphology test, the tree construction task, and the Standardized Concept Structuring Analysis Technique (SConSAT) version of concept mapping. Results suggest that the SConSAT knowledge structure dimensions have moderate to good construct validity. Contains 82 references. (DDR)

Peer reviewedRye, James A.; Rubba, Peter A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1998
Investigates the effectiveness of two different types of interviews: one that embeds a concept map, and one that does not embed a concept map in order to elicit post-instructional understandings. Focuses on students' understandings of chlorofluorocarbons and their role in global atmospheric change. Contains 71 references. (DDR)
