Abstract: The associate tests were used to explore the year 11 students' cognitive structure after they study content "metabolism".In this study,the correlation coefficient was used to map cognitive structure of the students.The resups show that:(1) concept-mapping tactic,used as the teaching and learning,can change students' cognitivestructure effectively.(2) In the experimental class,the students'cognitive structure is better and logical than that ofthe control class.

Key words: concept-maps, cognitive structures, associate tests, correlation coefficient, metabolism
