Cognitive Map
Cognitive maps are used to help student-teachers organize educational content in a coherent manner. For example, while learning about educational psychology, a cognitive map can illustrate how different theories of learning (like behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism) are related to classroom practices.
When planning lessons, B.Ed students can use cognitive maps to outline the flow of a lesson or unit. This can include mapping out the key concepts, the sequence in which they will be taught, and how they connect to prior knowledge and future topics.
Cognitive maps help in making abstract or complex concepts more concrete by providing a visual representation. For instance, when teaching about the structure of the education system, a cognitive map can show the hierarchy and relationships between various institutions, levels of education, and educational policies.
By creating and analyzing cognitive maps, student-teachers are encouraged to think critically about the material they are learning. This process involves identifying key concepts, determining how they are interconnected, and evaluating the strength of these connections.
Here are the two cognitive maps representing each unit of +1 & +2.
