DE SOUZA REGO PINTO CARVALHO, Diana Paula et al. Using Concept Maps: Results with Different Teaching and Learning Methods. Aquichan [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.3, pp.382-391. ISSN 1657-5997.  https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2016.16.3.9.

Objective: To analyze the results of a teaching intervention that uses a traditional method to develop the concept of postoperative wound complications in the undergraduate nursing program. Method: Qualitative, quasi-experimental analysis implemented through a teaching intervention for students from the undergraduate nursing program. Data collection was in two stages and students were randomly divided into subgroups I and II. To facilitate data collection, students created concept maps with the Cmap Tools® software. The researchers used the content analysis method to analyze the data, identifying 12 categories. Results: Subgroup II showed positive results compared to Subgroup I, since the association of the two teaching methods using the CM technique could promote the ability to articulate the concepts developed with previous knowledge. Conclusion: The researchers found that associating the teaching intervention based on the Meaningful Learning Theory to the traditional method and using CM encourages the good performance of students in the teaching-learning process.
