Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge: Concept Maps(tm) As Facilitative Tools in Schools and Corporations - Hardcover
This fully revised and updated edition of Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge recognizes that the future of economic well being in today's knowledge and information society rests upon the effectiveness of schools and corporations to empower their people to be more effective learners and knowledge creators. Novak’s pioneering theory of education presented in the first edition remains viable and useful. This new edition updates his theory for meaningful learning and autonomous knowledge building along with tools to make it operational - that is, concept maps, created with the use of CMapTools and the V diagram.
The theory is easy to put into practice, since it includes resources to facilitate the process, especially concept maps, now optimised by CMapTools software. CMapTools software is highly intuitive and easy to use. People who have until now been reluctant to use the new technologies in their professional lives are will find this book particularly helpful. Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge is essential reading for educators at all levels and corporate managers who seek to enhance worker productivity.

About the Author:
Review:
Joseph D. Novak, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University, Education and Biology, is Senior Research Scientist, Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition.
Educational research would be greatly strengthened if more researchers based sustained programmes of research on well developed and coherent theoretical perspectives, as Novak has done.
—The British Journal of Educational Psychology
Novak's contributions could facilitate systemic reform in education, corporations, and beyond.
—Contemporary Psychology
Dr. Joseph D. Novak has spent a lifetime constructing a theory of education aimed at making formal and informal learning more meaningful, knowledge more conceptually transparent, and schooling more educative than maleducative....[In this book]...he elevates concept mapping from just another way of representing ideas graphically to a theory-driven tool that is consistent with what we currently know from various disciplines about the brain, learning, and memory.
—James H. Wandersee
Louisiana State University
Dr. Novak's work on the development of a comprehensive theory of education, along with a set of practical tools for implementing his ideas, constitute a major contribution to the field....There is no question in my mind that this book will offer teachers, students, and managers a unique and helpful guide to creating knowledge!
—Joel J. Mintzes
University of North Carolina, Wilmington
This book shows the range of fields in which his ideas have been helpful, yet it takes new strides with application to corporate R & D....Concept-mapping can be a more useful alternative to traditinal planning and evaluation. These tools are especially needed at a time when we are overloaded with information, and people need better ways to organize it into knowledge.
