<center>An Introduction to<br>Concept Mapping for<
Concept mapping is a type of structured conceptualization which can be used by groups to develop a conceptual framework which can guide evaluation or planning. In the typical case, six steps are involved: 1) Preparation (including selection of participants and development of focus for the conceptualization); 2) the Generation of statements; 3) the Structuring of statements; 4) the Representation of Statements in the form of a concept map (using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis); 5) the Interpretation of maps; and, 6) the Utilization of Maps. Concept mapping encourages the group to stay on task; results relatively quickly in an interpretable conceptual framework; expresses this framework entirely in the language of the participants; yields a graphic or pictorial product which simultaneously shows all major ideas and their interrelationships; often improves group or organizational cohesiveness and morale."We organize information on maps in order to see our knowledge in a new way. As a result, maps suggest explanations; and while explanations reassure us, they also inspire us to ask more questions, consider other possibilities. To ask for a map is to say, 'Tell me a story.'" This line, written by Peter Turchi, comes from the beginning of his book, Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer .

What is Argument Mapping?
Argument mapping is, roughly, making a picture of reasoning . More precisely, it is the graphical display of the structure of reasoning and argumentation. Typically, argument maps are box-and-arrow diagrams, a bit like flowcharts. Argument mapping belongs to a family of " thought mapping " techniques which includes concept mapping and mind mapping . Argument mapping is distinctive in focusing exclusively on reasoning or argument structure, and is specialized for that purpose.
