| Abstract | The effectiveness of concept maps in mathematics education was examined through review of relevant empirical research studies. Concept maps are identified by Novak as useful tools in learning and assessment, comprising concepts connected by linking phrases that form propositions relevant to a particular knowledge domain, organized in a hierarchical structure. To examine claims of the effectiveness of concept maps in terms of assessment and learning facilitation in mathematics education, analysis of validity and reliability was undertaken. The studies evidenced only moderate empirical evidence for the effectiveness of concept maps in assessment applications, and questionable empirical evidence that concept maps facilitate learning. Qualitative and holistic researcher perspective was more positive, as was student perspective. More research is required to allow educators to use these tools strategically and confidently in mathematics educational contexts. Effectiveness of Concept Maps 3 |
