This study is attempted to examine the effects of the concept mapping in the geography instruction. The first motive question is that ‘How can teachers make students acquire and understand the geographical concepts more efficiently and effectively?’ with concept mapping, I try to examine it through contrastive analysis and comparison on the students between experiment and control group. The experiment was conducted for 5 weeks with two mentioned groups. The students of control group was taught with traditional instruction method, teacher-fronted instruction and summary pattern and those of experiment group with student-centered instruction where students can learn the subject willingly through concept mapping. The evaluation of the performance in each group was conducted compared by two achievement tests and one post-test.
