Concept mapping is a learning strategy that fosters meaningful learning. This study (N = 112 students, mean age: 17.20) investigated the benefits of cognitive and/or metacognitive prompts on learning outcomes when learning by concept mapping.

This study (N = 112 students, mean age: 17.20) investigated the benefits of cognitive and/or metacognitive prompts on learning outcomes when learning by concept mapping. Participants who were prompted during concept mapping achieved a significantly better learning outcome. However, mixed prompts were not more beneficial than solely cognitive or metacognitive prompts. Apparently, the availability of prompts per se fostered a more systematic learning behavior. However, as the results of a follow-up test without prompts showed, prompting learners once was not sufficient to help learners to continue to successfully use this learning technique on their own. » weiterlesen» einklappen
