Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge. They are employed in conjunction with a proposal to learn, rather than teach, which goes against Brazil’s conservative educational structure. The object of this study is the concept map and the objective is to introduce seven concept map assessment models in order to make available evaluation instruments and/or constructs to teachers. This theoretical paper has three sections: (a) meaningful learning and its contribution to concept maps; (b) an analogy between mental and concept maps, and; (c) concept map assessment models. There is no attempt to discuss which of the models are more efficient and appropriate to concept map evaluation as no empirical research of any sort was undertaken for testing.
