Abstract / Excerpt:

Statement of the Problem: This study was designed to find out the effect of collaborative concept mapping on the academic acheivement of Biology students in ecology.
METHODOLOGY: This chapter presented the design, locale, subjects, instruments, procedure, and statistical treatment adopted in the study by the researcher to gather, describe, and interpret the data.
Conclusions: Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions were derived: Collaborative concept mapping provides opportunities for learners enhace their skills in basic processes, oral communication, and writing. Students performed better skills often using varied activities employing such teaching approach. With the use of active learning strategy, students develop good attitudes and values more extensively as they work. Collaboratively and creatively their group concept maps than the use of expository method in the educative process. Furthermore, meaningful learning is more effective if students are actively involved in learning how to learn and explored ideas creatively thru group efforts. Collaborative concept mapping and the use of varied activities in teaching biology as well make learning more fun, active, interesting, challenging, and meaningful to learners. Hence, it is effective in teaching biology.
