Concept maps and meaningful learning

Believing that the use of the concept map technique can be a factor in the acquisition of new knowledge, its meanings and the guarantee of greater stability of the knowledge previously acquired by the student, this book aims to present a reflection on the potential of the concept map as a teaching/learning strategy. The work made it possible to analyse the influence of the concept map technique as a study stimulus for students, with reference to Ausubel’s meaningful learning, using bibliographical research and questionnaires as data collection procedures.
