概念图 (CM) 可以成为促进复杂抽象科学内容的基于理解的学习的有效策略。在我们的研究中，我们试图回答两个尚未阐明的问题：（1）如果学习者在构建概念图时没有可用的文本学习材料（检索设置），与有材料可用时（阐述设置）相比，CM 的效果如何？ (2) 两种设置的潜在影响是否取决于之前 CM 策略训练的强度？为此，我们制定了准实验四组计划，收集了N=93名本科生的数据。参与者接受了详细的 CM 策略培训或只是简短的介绍，然后被要求在检索或阐述环境中应用 CM。评估构建的概念图的质量和与内容相关的学习成功，以确定潜在的群体差异。总体而言，我们的结果表明 CM 策略培训对有条理的 CM 技能具有显着的积极但与环境无关的影响。然而，不同的设置条件在概念图质量和内容相关的学习成功方面都没有差异，这意味着检索设置中的 CM 可能与精化设置中一样有效。
Concept mapping (CM) can be an effective strategy to facilitate understanding-based learning of complex and abstract scientific content. In our study, we tried to answer two questions that have not yet been clarified: (1) How effective is CM if the learners do not have the textual learning material available when constructing their concept maps (retrieval setting) in contrast to when the material is available (elaboration setting)? (2) Do potential effects of the two settings depend on the intensity of a previous CM strategy training? To this end, we established a quasi-experimental four-group plan and collected data of N = 93 undergraduate students. The participants received either a detailed CM strategy training or just a short introduction and were then asked to apply CM in a retrieval or elaboration setting. The quality of constructed concept maps and content-related learning success were assessed to determine potential group differences. Overall, our results show a significantly positive but setting-independent effect of the CM strategy training on methodical CM skills. However, the different setting conditions differed neither regarding concept map quality nor content-related learning success, implying that CM in retrieval settings could be as effective as in elaboration settings.
