Kontseptkaardid, or concept maps, are graphical tools used to organize and represent knowledge. They display relationships between concepts in a structured way. Typically, a concept map consists of nodes representing concepts and lines or arrows connecting these nodes, indicating the relationships between them. These connecting lines are often labeled with linking words or phrases that describe the nature of the relationship.

The primary purpose of a concept map is to make complex information understandable by breaking it down into smaller, manageable parts and showing how they fit together. They are widely used in education, research, and business for various applications. In educational settings, students can use concept maps to study for exams, to brainstorm ideas, or to demonstrate their understanding of a subject. Educators, in turn, can use them to design curricula, assess student learning, and identify areas where students may be struggling.

In research, concept maps can aid in literature reviews, hypothesis generation, and the visualization of research findings. In the business world, they are employed for strategic planning, project management, knowledge management, and problem-solving. The flexibility of concept maps allows for a wide range of complexity, from simple diagrams illustrating a few related ideas to extensive networks representing entire fields of knowledge. The development of concept maps is often an iterative process, allowing for refinement and expansion as understanding grows.
