Posted: Monday, September 13, 2010Faculty Workshop: Assessing Student Gains in Learning through Concept Mapping
Concept maps are commonly used in educational settings as a learning aid or instructional tool. This session defines features of concept maps, describes the use of pre- and post-concept maps to evaluate learning and growth in knowledge, and offers a protocol and specific steps for employing concept maps as an assessment tool in college classrooms. Specific examples are shared from a study that used concept maps to investigate conceptual change of pre-service and in-service teachers after participation in courses utilizing multimedia case-based instruction. Presented by Kevin Miller on Thursday, September 23, 12:15–1:30 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library 181B. Register online.
