A concept map is a diagram that shows relationships between concepts. It is used to organize knowledge and stimulate idea generation. Concept maps represent connections between ideas, images, or words in a hierarchical structure, similar to how a sentence diagram shows grammar or a road map shows locations. Effective teaching and learning rely on organized knowledge comprised of concepts, propositions, and context-dependent regularities connected through linking words in a concept map.
