The document discusses the key components of concept maps, which are used to organize knowledge and answer focus questions. Concept maps represent organized knowledge through concepts and propositions that are hierarchically structured. They allow knowledge to be context dependent and show interrelationships between different segments through crosslinks. When constructed, concept maps aid in effective teaching and learning by representing perceived regularities and patterns in events and objects.

Concept Maps help to answer Focus Questions Concept Maps represent Organized Knowledge Organized Knowledge need to answer Focus Questions Organized Knowledge is Context Dependent Organized Knowledge includes Associated Feelings or Affect Organized Knowledge necessary for effective teaching and effective learning Organized Knowledge is comprised of Concepts Organized Knowledge is comprised of Propositions Focus Questions are Context Dependent Context Dependent e.g. personal and social Associated Feelings or Affect add to Concepts Concepts connected by Linking Words to form Propositions Concepts are Label with Symbols and Words Concepts are Perceived Regularities or Patterns Concepts are Hierarchically Structured ConceptsMaps
