Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the teaching effects of physiology by concept

mapping in developing critical thinking ability and self-directed learning. Study was designed

with a sample being drawn from a group in first-year junior college nursing students. Students

in the experimental group were taught to use concept mapping in their physiology lectures.

And students in the control group were taught by means of traditional methods. The long-term

study was conducted for 18 weeks. And the short-term study was conducted for 9 weeks first,

and then the concept mapping intervention was changed between control and experimental

groups. After that the students got on another 9 weeks training courses. Both parts of the

studies had shown consistently better overall self-directed learning than before. In particular

the performance of effective learning was increased significantly in both control and

experimental groups. However, the critical thinking ability was shown statistically

significantly lower in experimental group than in control group in the long-term study. But

this interference was not shown in the short-term study. The present study revealed that

concept mapping is an effective tool to improve students self-directed learning. However, the

interference in critical thinking ability was found in the long-term study, which suggest that

the elevation of critical thinking needs more than concept mapping intervention. Other

teaching skills and tools should be involved in physiology teaching.
