WHAT??

“ Part of the problem stems from
a pattern of learning that simply
requires memorization of information,
and no evaluation of the information
is required.”
Joseph D. Novak
Professor Emeritus at Cornell University
The Theory Underlying Concept Maps and
How to Construct and Use Them


…see learning as a blur of myriad facts, dates, names, equations,
“
or procedural rules to be memorized. For these students, the subject matter

of most disciplines, and especially science, mathematics, and history, is a

cacophony of information to memorize,
and they usually ﬁnd this boring.

Joseph D. Novak
Professor Emeritus at Cornell University
The Theory Underlying Concept Maps and
How to Construct and Use Them
