Abstract EN
This study examined the use of knowledge maps as a tool for teacher education students to increase knowledge acquisition and retention of concepts related to the visual arts design elements: line, color, and shape.
Participants were randomly assigned to either the no map or knowledge map group.
Three instruments—Student Autobiography, Elements of Design Tests (EDT), and Knowledge Map Questionnaire—were used to collect data.
Results revealed significantly higher means on the immediately administered posttest for the elements line and color and the delayed posttest for line map group.
Questionnaire responses indicated positive attitudes toward knowledge map use as a study strategy.
Specifically, endorsement was reported toward maps’ clarity, effectiveness for learning concepts, and enjoyment of use.
