Full paper

Abstract: The aim of the school learning is to acquire and remember the most knowledge and information possible and thus to enlarge own notion system. The process of remembering and acquiring could be facilitated by rewriting key words from the text to a larger piece of paper and connecting the key words into a space structure according to their relation and coherence. In such a way the concept map will arise and may serve a suitable device. Applying the concept mapping as well as other metacognitive methods into the school program would be of double important role. Firstly, such methods may help the future teachers to bring their own teaching approaches nearer to a more logical and senceful way of teaching. They will look for how to elaborate the teaching material and how to make it more clear and understandable. That means they will emphasize the role of key words and key principles as well as their mutual relations and coherences. Secondly, they will do it in a way which will form the learner's contact understanding of the given theme. In this article we were interested in concept mapping at the primary level of education.
