其他摘要:The PISA 2000 study found large differences between countries in terms of quality of learning. In somecountries, students prefer rote learning to meaningful learning. However, such memorisation of thematerial does not lead to recallable and usable knowledge in the long run. Ausubel's (1968) wellknowntheory serves as a basis for several techniques of meaningful learning, including conceptmapping, which emphasises the visual organization of comprehended information. The present studyreports the results of an experiment using concept mapping for deepening students’ understandingof teaching materials. It focuses on definitions frequently used in science and Hungarian grammarlessons. Results indicate that concept mapping training programmes can improve participants’achievement. Experiences show that the technique of concept mapping is frequently unfamiliar tostudents. More time would be needed for practising and using it in different learning situations.
