Abstract

In education implemented throughout the history of humanity, all kinds of information and social values intended to be transferred to the young generation are realized by teachers. The higher quality of teaching, the more achievement of student is. To achieve the goal of teaching and learning, the teacher must adopt effective teaching and learning methods in education. The teacher has many options to choose from different methods designed specifically for teaching and learning. The purpose of this research presented here is to investigate the effects of using concept maps on student achievement at teaching 'Binary System and Boolean Algebra'. Nowadays the information easy to reach but to keep in mind and to reach new findings and synthesis are quite difficult. In educational process for effective learning, the teaching materials for the learning purpose should be comprehensible and appropriate for the students. Furthermore, the learners are expected to construct the concepts and relations of the learning materials so as to achieve the desired learning objectives. Concept mapping is a method using graphs for representing knowledge in a structure according to different levels of abstraction and inclusion. The method has been widely applied in many disciplines and various educational levels. This learning environment is intended to guide the learners toward general understandings of the subject they have to learn.
