Helping Students Learn Veterinary Physiology through the Use of Concept Maps

Concept maps have become a ubiquitous tool in education in the last 20 years and are used extensively to teach scientific concepts. A concept map is a tool learners can use to organize information about a topic in terms of key concepts and the relationships among them. As a graphical representation, the map provides an overall picture of a particular concept or topic. This article describes how we have used concept maps to teach physiology to veterinary medical and veterinary technician students enrolled in our on-campus and distance-learning programs.

Key Words: concept mapping • veterinary physiology • online education • distance learning • student attitudes toward concept mapping
