Concept maps enable us to make meaningful connections between information items and apply our learning to real-world situations. Constructing a concept map will help you understand the content, which will help you study for the midterm quiz. Creating a concept map can be a more effective way of preparing for a quiz than typical study methods (e.g., re-reading textbook chapters). You will create a concept map based on the social psychology content of this unit

Software

  • You can use any software you like to generate a concept map.
  • Often, the simplest strategy is to use Microsoft Word:
  • Click on Layout/Orientation and choose your orientation.
  • Then click on Insert/Shapes to choose a shape.
  • Left-click on the page and drag to locate and size the shape.
  • Text can be inserted in the shapes to provide details about the concept.
  • Next, click on Insert/Shapes and choose an arrow that will be used to link concepts.
  • All elements (shapes, lines, text) can be modified, copied, etc.
  • It pays to save a few copies of the concept map (just in case)
