Taking Concept Mapping (CM) forward with socially mediated structured approaches
There is substantial research evidence (e.g. Nygaard and Holtham, 2008, 2009) to indicate that studentsââ¬â¢ active engagement in co-constructing knowledge, and taking responsibility for their own learning, is key to their achievement and development. This chapter will explore Concept Mapping (CM)...

There is substantial research evidence (e.g. Nygaard and Holtham, 2008, 2009) to indicate that studentsââ¬â¢ active engagement in co-constructing knowledge, and taking responsibility for their own learning, is key to their achievement and development. This chapter will explore Concept Mapping (CM) not only as one means of gathering research data but also ââ¬â and most importantly ââ¬â as a powerful technique to support reflection and offer space for internal dialogue about each studentââ¬â¢s personal development.
Concept maps were gathered from a sample of students on a postgraduate business programme. In addition to the data from the concept maps themselves, semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with part of the sample to follow-up and illuminate the CM process, as they seemed to deepen the reflective capacity of those students through more structured and socially-mediated activity.
