Abstract
While concept maps are a useful instructional tool for learning, the use of concept maps for scaffolding instruction has been less investigated in the literature. This study investigated the effects of scaffolded concept map format compared with non-scaffolded concept map on learning outcomes. Six hundred and fifteen undergraduate students in an introductory chemistry course were randomly assigned to one of the two concept map groups. This classroom-based experimental study used one-way MANCOVA to examine the effect of scaffolded concept maps in promoting learning outcomes. The result showed that the scaffolded concept map group significantly outperformed the non-scaffolded concept map group on multiple-choice knowledge transfer while controlling for the pretest. However, for the free recall response questions, there was no significant difference between the two groups. The implications and future directions are discussed.
