“…Pattern notes, a technique very similar to spider mapping, was developed originally as brain patterns by Buzan (1974) and subsequently retermed "pattern notes" (Fields, 1982;Jonassen, 1984Jonassen, , 1987 (See example in Figure 5). Like spider maps, pattern notes are drawn in a freeflowing, unconstrained manner.…”

of graphic techniques to convey this knowledge. Second, we present a model that describes the different learning outcomes of a variety of graphic techniques based upon the techniques' attributes and the types of cognitive processes that are elicited when learners construct the graphics. Structural KnowledgeStructural knowledge is an important construct in learning and instruction for several reasons which are now briefly described. ABSTRACTStructural knowledge, the knowledge of relationships between concepts in a content area, is essential for comprehension and problem solving. Learning structural knowledge can be facilitated through learner-generated two-dimensional diagrams of conceptual relationships. These diagrams include networks, concept maps, pattern notes, semantic maps and graphic or-ganizers. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of graphic techniques and the cognitive processes that learners use to construct the diagrams. We then propose a model that can be used to choose between different graphic techniques based upon the cognitive processes elicited by the techniques and the learning outcomes derived from their use.

“…A modification of pattern notes was developed by Jonassen (1984) to allow for labelling of relationships between concepts. Without labels, pattern notes can be difficult to interpret, as one cannot be certain of the type of relationship represented by the connecting lines.…”

This article considers four areas of research on study-skills. The article begins by documenting the development of interest in study-skills courses in British secondary and primary schools. It continues by examining some of the research on study-skills courses and their components-most of which has been carried out in the context of higher education. A third section contrasts individualised study-skills courses developing in Britain with more directed learning-strategies courses beingdeveloped in the USA. Finally, the article concludes by suggesting some possible rapprochements between these two main approaches to devising courses in studyskills.
