COGNITIVE MAP

Cognitive map
 Cognitive Map (CM) is a teaching and learning strategy that establishes a bridge between how people learn knowledge and sensible learning. Students need to have sufficient foundation and a critical thinking about CM and the relations between different concepts. Cognitive Map promises to be useful in enhancing meaningful learning and students conceptual understanding. It helps meaningful learning in several ways. It is an activity that provides the student with an opportunity to organize, summarize, analyze and evaluate many different ideas. Thus, it promotes the development of critical thinking skills, which can then be used for other meaningful learning activities. A cognitive map is any visual representation of a person’s(or a group’s) mental model for a given process or concept.
      The idea of cognitive map originates from the work of the psychologist Edward Tolman, who is famous for his studies of how rats learned to navigate mazes. In psychology, it has a strong spatial connotation — cognitive maps usually refer to the representation of a space (e.g., a maze) in the brain.

       As per the B.Ed curriculum I designed two cognitive maps one from XI standard and other from XII standard. My first Cognitive map from std.XI is based on the chapter ""breathing and exchange of gases. And the second cognitive map from std.XII is based on the chapter "sexual reproduction in flowering plants".
