Academic writing process: Cmaps as an essential tool
For mapping approaches to summarizing and argument, graphics software and mapping software in
general are preferable to pencil and paper because of ease of revision and restructuring. Among those
software, Cmap Tools freeware has the further distinct advantage that it forces the user to specify the
relations between links and thus reveals rhetorical structure or orchestration (or their absence) that is
not visually apparent in text. Cmaps are Novakian maps, i.e. each link between two nodes is labeled
with a phrase specifying the relation between those nodes. If we strengthen Novakian maps with
several visual metaphors (e.g. up is abstract, down is concrete; up is overarching, down is subordinate)
we get an even more compressed representation. This presents an altogether more powerful
representation than that offered by mind maps.
Grounded on a case study of a fruitful application of Cmap Tools, wherein EAP learners of academic
writing for management discover intellectual leverage in argument mapping, this paper argues that
Cmap Tools deserves a place amongst the essential tools for instructional discourse, particularly in
settings such as EAP where the identification of rhetorical orchestration is difficult, where argument is
often masked by other rhetorical devices, and where one's own thinking about an approach to a
problem is complex and difficult to encode directly in text.
To tentatively support its claims, this paper tracks EAP (English for Academic Purposes) learners' cycling
between discourse analysis and concept mapping as they worked to unpack a paper that they had
initially identified as a 'good model'.

To create an even more compressed representation,
use visual metaphors:
1. up is abstract, down is concrete; 
2. up is overarching, down is subordinate
3. concepts on the same level 
have the same degree of abstraction
4. rhetorical flow is top to bottom (NO ARROWHEADS!)

Key
Principles of
TQM
1-2 Much research has been done with regard to the implementation of TQM and it is believed that the
benefits of higher customer satisfaction, better quality products, and higher market share are often
obtained following the adoption of TQM by construction companies.
2-2 TQM is a way of thinking about goals, organizations, processes, and people to ensure that the right
things are done right the first time.
3-1 TQM is an approach to improving the competitiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility of the whole
organization.
3-2 Oakland (1995) observed that it is essentially a way of planning, organizing, and understanding each
activity that depends on each individual at each level.
Requirement
to implement
TQM
1-3 It requires a complete turnaround in corporate culture and management approach (Quazi and
Padibjo 1997) as compared to the traditional way of top management giving orders and employees
merely obeying them.
2-1 It is believed that the single most important determinant of the success an organization in
implementing TQM is its ability to translate, integrate, and ultimately institutionalize TQM
behaviors into everyday practice on the job.
2-3 Motwani (2001) feels that implementing TQM is a major organizational change that requires a
transformation in the culture, process, strategic priorities, beliefs, etc. of an organization.
3-3 Ideas of continuous learning allied to concepts such as empowerment and partnership, which are
facets of TQM, also imply that a change in behavior and culture is required if construction firms are to
become learning organizations (Love et al. 2000).
Benefit of
implementing
TQM
1-2 Much research has been done with regard to the implementation of TQM and it is believed that the
benefits of higher customer satisfaction, better quality products, and higher market share are
often obtained following the adoption of TQM by construction companies.
4-1 Idris et al. (1996) showed that the electrical and electronic engineering industry in Malaysia has
widely adopted TQM and the main benefits that resulted were improved customer satisfaction,
teamwork, productivity, communication, and efficiency.
4-2
~
4-3
Mc-Cabe (1996) reported a study of UK companies from different industries which have already
implemented TQM.
The results showed that a majority had achieved greater success against performance indicators
than was the average for their respective industries.
4-4
~
4-6
Culp (1993) cited an example of HDR Inc., Omaha, Nebraska, a large engineering firm that has
implemented TQM.
The experience of applying TQM concepts provided the organization with improvements,
information, and learning that occurred only because of the TQM process.
This is in addition to positive customer responses and client referrals that the organization received
as a result of implementing TQM.
5-1 There are also other means of achieving TQM success. Ford Motor Company has found success by
implementing its own Ford’s Q1 Award process which, in essence, involves the implementation of
many quality principles and tools that are often associated with a TQM organization (Stephens 1997).
Problems
5-2
~
5-3
According to Ghosh and Wee (1996), manufacturing companies in Singapore have reached a
certain state of development with regard to TQM and, hence, are on their way to world-class
manufacturing.
However, their survey indicated that Japanese manufacturing companies showed a greater
commitment to TQM than their local/regional counterparts.
5-4
~
5-6
In a survey carried out by the National Productivity Board in Singapore, Quazi and Padibjo (1997)
reported that out of the 300 firms surveyed, only one-third of the manufacturing companies and
one-fourth of the services and construction companies had implemented TQM programs.
Of those companies that have implemented TQM, most were of foreign origin.
This appears to suggest that local companies were lagging behind their foreign competitors.
Research
objectives
6-1 The aim of this paper is to examine how TQM can be applied more actively in the construction
industry.
6-2 It seeks to assist contractors in identifying the steps necessary for the implementation of TQM.
Research
methodology
6-3 For this purpose, a comparison of the benefits experienced and the TQM performance measures
in two case studies are presented.

Cmaps as intellectual prosthesis: Cycling between text analysis and rhetorical mapping
Mind maps are ubiquitous today, and have great fruitful applications. However, in mind maps the links between nodes in
mind maps are simply lines representing association; each dyad (two nodes joined by a line) looks like every other. The
mind map maker cannot articulate the relations between nodes and hence the clusters of nodes in a mind map can be
interpreted widely.
This raises a question: are there low text representations of the content of text that reveal rhetorical structure or
orchestration (or their absence)?
In Novakian maps, or Cmaps, each link between two nodes is labeled with a phrase specifying the relation between those
nodes. As well, applying several visual metaphors (up is abstract, down is concrete; up is overarching, down is subordinate)
can make the representation even more compressed. This presents an altogether more powerful representation than mind
maps.
Cmap representation has gained a wide usership, particularly in science education, thanks to the popularity of the freeware
Cmap Tools, which forces the user to specify the relations between links.
This paper reports a case study of a fruitful application of Cmaps, wherein EAP learners of academic writing for
management discover intellectual leverage in mapping. The learners were asked to draw a constrained map (fewer than 10
nodes, 4 words or fewer per node, links must be verbs) of the content of the introduction section of a published research
paper, and then to critique their maps and arrive at consensus on an accurate mapping. Then they were asked to write a
new version of the introduction based only on the content of the map. The learners developed their own approach,
working in an iterative manner, mapping in counterpoint with text analysis work. This paper tracks the learners' cycling
between moves analysis and concept mapping as they worked to unpack a paper that they had initially identified as a 'good
model'.
The observations made here suggest that the Cmap deserves a place amongst the essential tools for instructional discourse,
particularly in settings such as EAP where the identification of rhetorical orchestration is difficult, where argument is often
masked by other rhetorical devices, and where one's own thinking about an approach to a problem is complex and difficult
to encode directly in text.

Cmap Tools as an essential for teaching academic writing

  • 1. Academic writing process: Cycling between Cmaps and text analysis =>Cmaps as an essential tool Lawrie Hunter Kochi University of Technology http://www.core.kochi-tech.ac.jp/hunter JALTCALL 2013 June 1, 2013

  • 3. Academic writing process: Cmaps as an essential tool For mapping approaches to summarizing and argument, graphics software and mapping software in general are preferable to pencil and paper because of ease of revision and restructuring. Among those software, Cmap Tools freeware has the further distinct advantage that it forces the user to specify the relations between links and thus reveals rhetorical structure or orchestration (or their absence) that is not visually apparent in text. Cmaps are Novakian maps, i.e. each link between two nodes is labeled with a phrase specifying the relation between those nodes. If we strengthen Novakian maps with several visual metaphors (e.g. up is abstract, down is concrete; up is overarching, down is subordinate) we get an even more compressed representation. This presents an altogether more powerful representation than that offered by mind maps. Grounded on a case study of a fruitful application of Cmap Tools, wherein EAP learners of academic writing for management discover intellectual leverage in argument mapping, this paper argues that Cmap Tools deserves a place amongst the essential tools for instructional discourse, particularly in settings such as EAP where the identification of rhetorical orchestration is difficult, where argument is often masked by other rhetorical devices, and where one's own thinking about an approach to a problem is complex and difficult to encode directly in text. To tentatively support its claims, this paper tracks EAP (English for Academic Purposes) learners' cycling between discourse analysis and concept mapping as they worked to unpack a paper that they had initially identified as a 'good model'. ace lookatthest8i*min

Reordered chart G R O U P I N G Key Principles of TQM 1-2 Much research has been done with regard to the implementation of TQM and it is believed that the benefits of higher customer satisfaction, better quality products, and higher market share are often obtained following the adoption of TQM by construction companies. 2-2 TQM is a way of thinking about goals, organizations, processes, and people to ensure that the right things are done right the first time. 3-1 TQM is an approach to improving the competitiveness, effectiveness, and flexibility of the whole organization. 3-2 Oakland (1995) observed that it is essentially a way of planning, organizing, and understanding each activity that depends on each individual at each level. Requirement to implement TQM 1-3 It requires a complete turnaround in corporate culture and management approach (Quazi and Padibjo 1997) as compared to the traditional way of top management giving orders and employees merely obeying them. 2-1 It is believed that the single most important determinant of the success an organization in implementing TQM is its ability to translate, integrate, and ultimately institutionalize TQM behaviors into everyday practice on the job. 2-3 Motwani (2001) feels that implementing TQM is a major organizational change that requires a transformation in the culture, process, strategic priorities, beliefs, etc. of an organization. 3-3 Ideas of continuous learning allied to concepts such as empowerment and partnership, which are facets of TQM, also imply that a change in behavior and culture is required if construction firms are to become learning organizations (Love et al. 2000). Benefit of implementing TQM 1-2 Much research has been done with regard to the implementation of TQM and it is believed that the benefits of higher customer satisfaction, better quality products, and higher market share are often obtained following the adoption of TQM by construction companies. 4-1 Idris et al. (1996) showed that the electrical and electronic engineering industry in Malaysia has widely adopted TQM and the main benefits that resulted were improved customer satisfaction, teamwork, productivity, communication, and efficiency. 4-2 ~ 4-3 Mc-Cabe (1996) reported a study of UK companies from different industries which have already implemented TQM. The results showed that a majority had achieved greater success against performance indicators than was the average for their respective industries. 4-4 ~ 4-6 Culp (1993) cited an example of HDR Inc., Omaha, Nebraska, a large engineering firm that has implemented TQM. The experience of applying TQM concepts provided the organization with improvements, information, and learning that occurred only because of the TQM process. This is in addition to positive customer responses and client referrals that the organization received as a result of implementing TQM. 5-1 There are also other means of achieving TQM success. Ford Motor Company has found success by implementing its own Ford’s Q1 Award process which, in essence, involves the implementation of many quality principles and tools that are often associated with a TQM organization (Stephens 1997). Problems 5-2 ~ 5-3 According to Ghosh and Wee (1996), manufacturing companies in Singapore have reached a certain state of development with regard to TQM and, hence, are on their way to world-class manufacturing. However, their survey indicated that Japanese manufacturing companies showed a greater commitment to TQM than their local/regional counterparts. 5-4 ~ 5-6 In a survey carried out by the National Productivity Board in Singapore, Quazi and Padibjo (1997) reported that out of the 300 firms surveyed, only one-third of the manufacturing companies and one-fourth of the services and construction companies had implemented TQM programs. Of those companies that have implemented TQM, most were of foreign origin. This appears to suggest that local companies were lagging behind their foreign competitors. Research objectives 6-1 The aim of this paper is to examine how TQM can be applied more actively in the construction industry. 6-2 It seeks to assist contractors in identifying the steps necessary for the implementation of TQM. Research methodology 6-3 For this purpose, a comparison of the benefits experienced and the TQM performance measures in two case studies are presented.

  • 91. Cmaps as intellectual prosthesis: Cycling between text analysis and rhetorical mapping Mind maps are ubiquitous today, and have great fruitful applications. However, in mind maps the links between nodes in mind maps are simply lines representing association; each dyad (two nodes joined by a line) looks like every other. The mind map maker cannot articulate the relations between nodes and hence the clusters of nodes in a mind map can be interpreted widely. This raises a question: are there low text representations of the content of text that reveal rhetorical structure or orchestration (or their absence)? In Novakian maps, or Cmaps, each link between two nodes is labeled with a phrase specifying the relation between those nodes. As well, applying several visual metaphors (up is abstract, down is concrete; up is overarching, down is subordinate) can make the representation even more compressed. This presents an altogether more powerful representation than mind maps. Cmap representation has gained a wide usership, particularly in science education, thanks to the popularity of the freeware Cmap Tools, which forces the user to specify the relations between links. This paper reports a case study of a fruitful application of Cmaps, wherein EAP learners of academic writing for management discover intellectual leverage in mapping. The learners were asked to draw a constrained map (fewer than 10 nodes, 4 words or fewer per node, links must be verbs) of the content of the introduction section of a published research paper, and then to critique their maps and arrive at consensus on an accurate mapping. Then they were asked to write a new version of the introduction based only on the content of the map. The learners developed their own approach, working in an iterative manner, mapping in counterpoint with text analysis work. This paper tracks the learners' cycling between moves analysis and concept mapping as they worked to unpack a paper that they had initially identified as a 'good model'. The observations made here suggest that the Cmap deserves a place amongst the essential tools for instructional discourse, particularly in settings such as EAP where the identification of rhetorical orchestration is difficult, where argument is often masked by other rhetorical devices, and where one's own thinking about an approach to a problem is complex and difficult to encode directly in text.
