Like all maps, concept maps are representations of spatial relationships. Concept maps reflect the psychological structure of an individual’s knowledge.It show what individuals know and how their knowledge is structured.
Grounded in a constructivist perspective of learning, concept maps have 3 elements: nodes or concepts, lines representing links and directional relations among concepts, and labels that describe the nature of the relationship. These 3 elements combine to create propositions, or meaningful statements.
I think Students are lack of knowledge about mind map, Students cannot identify the key words / key concepts, they have just copied down the headings of their textbook or they copy the whole paragraph and some students claim that it is time–consuming.
But I advice teachers to overcome all of these problems is to create a mind map together by part to part during the lesson, show the benefits of mind map, integrate the mind map into teaching activities .So student will be familiar with this kind of maps to get better results through facilitate long term memory, identify linkages between concepts, consolidate concepts in junior forms, and cultivate Self-learners.
