Are there several different types of concept mapping?
Yes. Experts in planning and evaluation such as Trochim, W., Novak, J.D, Rico, G.L., Chen, H.T., and Rossi, P.H. suggest concept mapping as a useful method for developing a conceptual framework. All of these concept mappings are similar in that they result in a graphic representation, but their approaches or emphases are different. Here, I can tell you about the one developed by Professor Trochim, W., at Cornell University.
