NMQ 745 Chapter 2 – Intro to the language of research
Research = one of many different ways of knowing or understanding a process of systematic
inquiry that is designed to collect, analyse, interpret and use data.

2.2 Concept map

- A concept map serves as a heuristic that demonstrates the meaning of a limited set of key
concepts and relationships between them.
- often organised hierarchically with the larger concepts at the top and flowing out to
subsidiary concepts. Note also that there are linking terms like “consisting of” that further
enrich the meaning of concepts and their interrelationships.
