Background:
A concept map is a visual representation of knowledge that illustrates the relationships and propositions among various concepts.
Aim And Objective:
This study aimed to determine the effect of teaching and assess the perceptions of Ayurvedic undergraduate students through concept mapping.
Method And Material:
In this study, 48 students were included and divided into two groups. The topic for intervention was the mechanisms of Vaman (induced vomiting). Group A was taught through a didactic lecture, while Group B was taught using concept mapping, followed by a crossover of the groups. Students were provided with a structured and revalidated feedback form, and their perceptions were assessed using a five-point Likert scale.
Results:
Analysis of the feedback form indicated that students expressed greater satisfaction with the concept mapping teaching approach, attributing it to enhanced comprehension of the subject matter.
Conclusion:
Concept mapping can be an effective teaching tool for teaching complex concepts.
