Using concept maps for information conceptualization and schematization in technical reading and writing courses: A case study for computer science majors in Japan

Abstract	In this article, we argue for the importance of using concept maps in an advanced technical reading class offered for computer science students. This article presents a strong argument that use of concept maps should be integrated effectively with traditional document conceptualization and production techniques. Assignments based on designing concept maps in a technical reading classroom should address the use of knowledge models like concept maps and should be integrated effectively with technical writing assignments. This study reports that readers think concept maps and the associated software are effective tools for comprehending technical details, and they prefer to use various strategies (when they are part of the class design) to dissect the technical text to be used in concept maps. Readerspsila self-reports also suggested that readers used concept maps for a variety of reasons.
