The effect of the concept maps strategy on acquiring geographical concepts for second-grade intermediate students

The current research describes the impact of the concept mapping strategy on the acquisition of geographical concepts among the second grade intermediate students. The researcher used the experimental design with two equal groups: one experimental and the other a control one. The experimental group (which was studied using concept maps and the number of its students was (14) students and the control group, which is Division (A), studied using the usual method and the number of its students was (12) students. The total research sample was (26) students. The researcher conducted equivalence between the two groups in the following variables The degree of social studies for students in the first intermediate grade for the academic year (2019-2020), the chronological age of students, calculated in months, the educational level of fathers and the educational level of mothers. For the purpose of achieving the goal of the research, the researcher prepared a test of geographical concepts consisting of (23) items, of the type of multiple test. The results showed the effectiveness of the use of geographical maps in acquiring geographical concepts among the students of the second intermediate grade.
