The document discusses the key components of concept maps, which are used to organize knowledge and answer focus questions. Concept maps represent organized knowledge through concepts and propositions that are hierarchically structured. They allow knowledge to be context dependent and show interrelationships between different segments through crosslinks. When constructed, concept maps aid in effective teaching and learning by representing perceived regularities and patterns in events and objects.
