Cross-link in the structure of senior high school student concept map in existing biology learning

Abstract

The aim of the research to examine cross-links in the structure of students concept map in existing biology learning with various abilities of senior high school students. The subjects of the research were 92 students of 10th grade who had different abilities: 34 students in high-capable senior high school, 31 students in moderate senior high school and 27 students in low-capable senior high school. Cross-link assessment in the structure of concept maps with compiling an expert concept map as a standard cross-link calculation and total the structure of concept maps got through assignments. Organize and analyze cross-link scores and total concept maps on various concept map structures. The results showed: 1) the average total score of the concept map of students in high-capable high school is 2,35% with 12 students above the average, medium-capable high school 2,03% with six students above the average and high school below ability 1,93% with four students above the average. 2) Cross-link scores on concept maps have similarities for all levels of ability of high school students which are 0.71%. 3) Concept map structure in all high schools found spoke type.
