Abi-El-Mona, Issam; Adb-El-Khalick, Fouad – School Science and Mathematics, 2008
This study assessed the influence of using mind maps as a learning tool on eighth graders' science achievement, whether such influence was mediated by students' prior scholastic achievement, and the relationship between students' mind maps and their conceptual understandings. Sixty-two students enrolled in four intact sections of a grade 8 science…
