Abstract :
The present study aims to investigate the Network Concept Methods (Based on Conceptual Maps) as compared to old Learning method on Female Students Learning in Work and Technology Course in Urmia. For this purpose a sample of 75 female students was drawn from I Grade students from a secondary school in Urmia city. Three groups of students each group comprising 25 students, two Experimental Groups and one Control Group. The groups were formed and were labelled as by random matching. All the three Groups were equated on average of last year. Method of sampling is Convenience sampling. Research tools include standard and self-made achievement test was conducted.The data collected were analyzed using ANOVA to arrive at the following conclusions: 1. Concept Method (Based on Conceptual Maps) as compared to old Learning method was above efficacious on Female Students Learning in Work and Technology Course. 2. In the lower levels of learning in Work and Technology Course, Significantly Conceptual Maps (drawed by teacher and drawed by students) was above efficacious on the learning as compared to Old Learning Method. 3.In the higher levels of learning in Work and Technology Course, Significantly Conceptual Maps (drawed by teacher and drawed by students) was above efficacious on the learning as compared to Old Learning method.
