Concept

Methods (Designs of concept maps and their impacts on readers’ performance in memory and reasoning while reading)

  • Eighty-eight 10th-grade high school students (all male) from an area in north-western Taiwan participated in this study, as part of a ‘creative learning project’ initiated by a collaborative university. One week before the experiment, a training lesson on concept maps was provided to make sure they were all ready for the experiment.
  • A booklet that contains two texts and seven tasks was designed for the participants to read and then respond to. The texts were about the causes of the most monumental uprising in Taiwan’s history, that is, the 228 Incident. The booklet was designed in three versions, which differed only in the type of concept map provided for the first text. No concept maps were provided for the second text.
