COGNITIVE MAP 🧠✨

Cognitive maps are visual representations of a person's mental model of a concept or process.

A cognitive map on Motion in a Straight Line was prepared and presented in chart form. The topic was selected from the Plus One Physics SCERT textbook. Through this cognitive map, the student trainee explained the fundamental concepts of motion such as rest and motion, position, displacement and distance, speed and velocity, acceleration, uniform and non-uniform motion,and equations of motion. This cognitive map helps students to understand the concepts of motion in a straight line in a simple, organized, and effective manner, thereby improving conceptual clarity and retention.

In this cognitive map, the student teacher illustrated the major classes of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.The map includes the classification of carbohydrates into monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, along with their structures and functions. Lipids are represented with their types and functions, and nucleic acids are explained through DNA and RNA, highlighting their structure and role in heredity.Thus, the cognitive map presents the concepts of biomolecules in a well-organized, simple and meaningful way, helping students to grasp, recall and correlate the concepts easily and effectively.
