Abstract The process of map making by 12 middle-school students' was examined in depth to determine what actions influence the resulting accuracy of their maps, how prior knowledge helps them to produce their maps, and what can be learned through map making. Students were audio- and video-taped while they constructed maps either individually, in a dyad, or in a group of four. Students' verbal transcripts were analyzed for locations of spoken recognition of the interconnections between map elements, and students' maps were scored for accuracy. Results indicate that a relationship exists between student recognition of map element interconnections and subsequent map accuracy. These results suggest that instruction which focuses on recognition of interconnections of map elements can promote map reasoning skills.
