Abstract: In order to explore the role of interdiscip linary concept mapping in interdiscip linary know ledge integration,this study designed an intervention program of interdiscip linary concept mapping,chose secondary school students as the participants,and used the approach of comparing experimental and control groups to examine the effect of interdiscip linary concept mapping on interdiscip linary academic achievement.The results indicated that:(a)the intervention of interdiscip linary concept mapping significantly improved the learners'interdiscip linary academic achievement;(b)as for the learners with different levels of academic achievement,the intervention significantly improved interdiscip linary academic achievement of the low and medium achievers,but no significant effect was found on that of high achievers.Those suggested that interdiscip linary concept mapping,as an intellectual tool of adaptation,can effectively learners'interdiscip linary academic achievement,but its effect varies for different levels of achievers.

Key words: Interdiscip linary know ledge integration, interdisciplinary concept mapping, interdiscip linary academic achievement, secondary school students
