A Study on Effects of the Concept Mapping for Biology Learning

생물학습에 개념도를 이용한 효과에 관한 연구

This study was to inquire the effectiveness of concept mapping on the learning of biology concept. In this study the achivement acquired by the students in the classes of individual concept mapping and cooperative concept mapping were compared with those of traditional lecture on "photosynthesis and plant respiration". The concept mapping teaching methods, by individuals and groups. were more effective than traditional one. The results of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that these difference were statistically significant; individual concept mapping was more effective than traditional class result(p<.008). Also the cooperative concept mapping was effective than traditional class result(p<.0001). And the cooperative concept mapping was more effective than the individual one(p<.04). So that cooperative concept mapping is the most effective method in biology class.

중학교 생물의 광합성과 호흡단원에 대해 개인별 또는 협동 학습개념도를 적용한 수업결과를 전통적 강의식 수업결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 개념도를 적용한 학습이 전통적 강의식 수업보다 효과적이었다. 공분산분석을 실시하여 개인별 개념도 작성그룹과 협동 개념도 작성그룹간(p<.008), 협동개념도 작성그룹과 전통적 강의식 학습그룹간(p<.0001)에 유의성있는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 협동개념도작성그룹이 개인별 개념도 작성그룹보다 효과적이었다(p<.04). 따라서 협동개념도 학습방법이 생물학습에 있어 가장 효과적이었다.
