Concept Maps sind nicht das Gleiche wie Mind Maps

It is important to note that by definition concept maps are quite different from mind maps and webs, examples of graphic organizers where there is not necessarily hierarchy nor are there necessarily propositional phrases.

From Gregory MacKinnon im Buch Handbook of Research on New Media Literacy at the K-12 Level (2009) in the text Concept Mapping as a Mediator of Constructivist Learning

Im Unterschied zur Mind Map besitzt eine Concept Map nicht einen zentralen Begriff, sondern mehrere. Dies zeigt sich grafisch in der Tatsache, dass Mind Maps die Form eines Baums oder Sterns aufweisen, während Concept Maps echte Netzwerke mit mehreren Zentren darstellen.

There are many researchers (e.g., Slotte & Lonka, 1999, pp. 522 – 523) who refer to Novak and Gowin (1984), but clearly mix concept maps with Buzan’s (1974, 2000) mind maps, which are much simpler association maps. It is strange that a refereed journal accepts this kind of language use.

From Mauri Åhlberg im Konferenz-Band Concept Maps: Theory, methodology, technology (2005) in the text Varieties of Concept Mapping

Insbesondere die Beschriftung von Verbindungen bei Concept Maps hat grosse Auswirkungen auf die Aussagekraft solcher Darstellungen. Während ich bei Mind Maps Verbindungen ziehen kann, ohne mir über die Bedeutung dieser Beziehung Klarheit verschaffen muss, lassen dies Concept Maps nicht zu. Hier muss jede Beziehung verbalisiert werden.

Concept mapping is different from mind mapping and concept maps from mind maps, although both types of maps have some features in common (see Jonassen et al., 1993). The main difference is that in mind maps, concepts and ideas are represented, without signifying the particular meaning imposed on the relationships (Buzan, 1995). Other differences relate to the kind of organization of ideas. Whereas concept maps allow for representing concepts both in a hierarchical and web manner the typical organization format of mind maps is a tree structure with one central node in the center and many branches originating from the center. Another difference between concept maps and mind maps is the lack of representation of crossrelationships between mapped elements. Whereas this is a typical feature of concept maps, mind maps typically make sparse use of representing interrelationships between ideas.
