Correlación entre mapas conceptuales y habilidad para la resolución de problemas en la unidad de Equilibrio Iónico en la asignatura de Química General

From the qualitative point of view, concept maps were useful to determine the vision of the students in this specific area of study, allowing us to explicit the relationship that they establish between concepts, linking those that seemed dispersed. They also allowed us to detect concepts that were not developed properly in classes, to appreciate lacks in the concepts network and conceptual errors. Also, by means of the relationships that the students established among concepts presented in the maps, we could appreciate the students mastery level of the specific content and the gaps among concepts considered important by the teachers, and ignored by the students. However, even though concept maps are considered an strategy to improve the teaching-learning process, at least the authors can say that there was no correlation between problem solving skills in the unit of Ionic Equilibrium and concept maps developed by the students.
