This study aimed at investigating the effect of teaching by using concept mapping method on the students' achievement of environmental education at Mu'tah University.

The study sample consisted of 114 students (male and female), randomly chosen from the students who were registered for environmental education course, during summer semester of the academic year 2005/2006.

The study sample was divided into two sections, where one group was taught by concept mapping method, while the other group was taught by a conventional method.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a 50 multiple choice items achievement test was utilize, after verifying the reliability and the validitu.

The results of the study revealed statistically significant differences at the level (α =0.05) in the achievement of the students on the posttest in favor of the concept mapping method.

However, no statistically significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) were found attributed to student's gender.

The study recommends that more studies to be carried out on that investigate the effect of the concept mapping method in teaching other courses at the university level.
