Experiencing the Essence of Learning Database Management System Course using C-map Tool

Abstract

One of the never ending concerns in engineering education is the ability of the students to apply the content they learned to the real world situations. But the major problem occurs in understanding the organizational structure of entire course and its application. To address this the paper presents the implementation of concept maps to Database Management System (DBMS) course using C-map tool. A case study has been conducted to compare the results with conventional instruction and concept map based instruction. This study fosters the effective learning through technology tools integrated with content and pedagogy.
