Examples of Maps

Examples of maps can be found in various sources:

• Machiel Keestra’s article in Allen Repko, William H. Newell, and Rick Szostak, Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Research (2012) can be drawn on.

• There are also Paul A. Kirschner, Simon J. Buckingham-Shum and Chad S. Carr Visualizing Argumentation: Software Tools for Collaborative and Educational Sense-Making(Computer Supported Cooperative Work) (Springer, 2003) and Alexandra Okada, Simon J. Buckingham Shum and Tony Sherborne, Knowledge Cartography: Software Tools and Mapping Techniques (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing) (Springer, 2010) on the general advantages of ‘mapping’ scientific arguments, and how to do this.

• The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential (1994) emphasizes the importance of ‘maps’ if we are to solve the world’s problems (Vol. 1, 24; section TZ is devoted to mapping).

• The Mathews and Jones, "Using systems thinking to improve interdisciplinary learning outcomes," paper in Issues in Integrative Studies 2008 is very good, especially with respect to teaching.
