Abstract

The paper describes an experience of Russian researchers and teachers in using of concept maps at classes. Concept maps are considered by Russian scientists as a tool of evaluation of information acquisition and as learning technique. The main objectives of application of CM in learning process are defined at the paper. Individual cases of using concept maps and its combination with other teaching techniques to achieve the best students’ learning outcomes are described. Differentiated approach in selection of different kinds of CM as evaluation tool for students’ knowledge is emphasis. The problems faced by teachers when using concept maps are summarized and highlighted. The developmental potential of CM as learning technique and as formation of students’ conceptual framework is discussed.
