THE EFFECT OF CONCEPT MAPPING ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS AND HIGH LEVELS OF SELF-REGULATED LEARNING TOPICS ATOMIC STRUCTURE

his study aimed to determine the effect of concept mapping on academic achievement levels and high levels of self-regulated learning in secondary school chemistry topics atomic structure was implemented. The study was conducted using random cluster sampling. The sample consisted of all students in the second year of high school in Tehran 60 people a randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. In the control group chemistry lecture (traditional) and experimental group, the students were taught lessons in the form of concept map. The effect on the academic achievement of learners at the end of this lesson through achievement tests measured parameters with acceptable reliability and validity. Also, self-regulation strategies of students learning motivation were assessed using a questionnaire. SPSS 21 software was used for data analysis. The results showed Significant effects on Academic Achievement and increase self-regulation concept mapping surface atomic structure chemistry is the learning topic. The results of this study, the use of concept maps in chemistry teaching can have a positive impact on the academic achievement and self-regulation has higher levels of learning.
