Abstract:
Cognitive Mapping as teaching strategy expects to develop students with high critical thinking skills with results for acquisition of skills necessary for work. Nowadays, the current educational system in the Philippine is considered as a failure because most of our teaching and learning interaction happens only on the four walls of the classroom. The teaching focuses on lecture type, more facts rather than skills are thought. This study is an experimental type, which aims to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Mapping as teaching strategy at second year BSIP students of College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) during 2nd Semester of the school year 2020-2021. Findings revealed that the Economics learning of students exposed to the Cognitive mapping and to the traditional strategy did not differ significantly, thus both groups were still comparable after the treatment. However, the Cognitive Mapping seemed to have an impact on the students' performance in analytical thinking. Towards the end of the study, the conclusion were drawn and recommendations were offered.
