Combining learning tools for use in higher education

Abstract

This research will focus on the learning process as occurring through the interaction of three mental processes, namely Cognition (I think), Affectation (I feel) and Conation (I do). It will present a model of teaching and learning in Higher Education through the integrated use of Concept Maps and Let Me Learn advanced learning system. This research will put forward the argument that when using Cmaps along with an awareness of how students prefer to learn, the students will go through a metacognitive learning process which would eventually lead to meaningful learning thereby challenging the ever prevailing factory model of education.
