Abstract: Under consideration are two quantitative characteristics of conceptual map: weight and distance. These characteristics are used to evaluate the ‘didactic price’ of conceptual map modifications. A complex structure of the map links is proposed aiming to perform a more coherent image of the connections between the entities of the map. The implementation of such complex structure in a topic-oriented didactical unit potentially facilitates the execution of the particular integrated didactic scenario. The theoretical frame is operationalized by a sample instruction for conceptual map design. The scope of the study includes the innovative schools in Bulgaria, which are introducing integrated approach as an upgrade of the compulsory subject-oriented curricula.
Keywords: conceptual map weight, conceptual map distance, integrated approach, processing matrix, topic-oriented education.
