A concept map is a diagram consisting of nodes that represent concepts and labeled lines that indicate the relationship between those concepts. The combination of two nodes and a labeled line is called a proposition. In the concept maps presented here, the nodes are circles with words indicating the name of the concept.
Although concept maps have been used by researchers to represent student knowledge obtained from interviews, student-prepared concept maps have not seen common use as assessment tools. Indeed, questions have been raised about the reliability and validity of these concept map assessment tasks.
