Abstract

There are different versions of concept mapping. The purpose of this paper is to compare some of them and toexplicate the main differences. Proper concept mapping methods include all methods of knowledge graphic presentation that areclearly based on the seminal writings of Novak and his research group from 1981 to 2002. Some writers may use the termconcept mapping, although one of the most basic requirements is not fulfilled: No meaningful propositions are produced out oflinked concepts. Sometimes no links at all are present, only concepts spread in a conceptual space. In “the Novakian StandardConcept Mapping Format�? there are some unnecessarily complex rules. Critical reflection on alternative ideas about conceptmapping may suggest alternative and better ideas in the future.
