Concept maps play a major role in the educational process, as they contribute to focusing the attention of the curriculum designer on teaching concepts and on planning curricular activities that serve as a tool for learning the concept. The concept map, which includes a wide range of related concepts, becomes the cognitive component of the curriculum, and the curriculum becomes a chain of intended learning outcomes.
