Jegede, Olugbemiro J.; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v27 n10 p951-60 Dec 1990
This study sought to find out whether concept mapping reduces anxiety and thereby enhances achievement in biology. A total of 51 grade-10 students participated in the experiment. Findings indicate concept mapping is significantly more effective than traditional teaching in enhancing learning in biology and reducing student anxiety toward biology. (32 references) (PR)
