Embedded Tools: Concept Maps John Geiser Department of Biological Sciences Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI

Embedded Tools Best of both worlds. Class assessment and Research assessment. Assessment can be the same for both or different. Generally better if different (personal opinion) Gets rid of bias of teaching to the test Examples Concept Mapping Writing Assignments Just about any tool

What is a concept map? Concepts – terms, ideas, phrase, concepts Usually 1 to 2 words Represented visually by shape with concept inside Tree Brown Bark Green Leaf Root

water and water soluble matter needed for growth What is a concept map? Proposition – phrase giving meaning and showing connection between concepts Represented visually by directional arrow Longer propositions are generally better Tree is Brown is has Bark method of collecting water and water soluble matter needed for growth has Green Leaf Root

Practice a Concept Map Take blank piece of paper. Identify 6 concepts related to your SoTL project. Problems, questions, ideas, tasks, etc. Connect concepts with propositions. Few minutes to get it mapped. GO!

Scoring a concept map Does your map look like these? If so, time to do more work to get at deeper understanding.

Scoring a concept map Two majors approaches Comparison to expert map of subject area. Design and use a rubric to score. (Wallace 1990, Stoddart 2010 has much more involved process and reviews many others)

Scoring a concept map Relationships: 1 point Hierarchy: 5 points/level

Scoring a concept map Branching: 1 point/branch General to Specific Examples: 1 point

Scoring a concept map Cross-Links: 10 points/link

My Approach Low stakes, studying tool, freshman intro majors bio, 300+ students Concept Map topic, chapter, etc. 20 concepts as minimum Propositions between concepts (19 minimum) 10 points out of 1000 total

Rubric

Digital Concept Map Free computer concept map software. http://cmap.ihmc.us/ Free online concept map software. https://bubbl.us/ Many others.
