Background: Concept mapping can be taken as a tool that identifies the learner's understanding of the subject. Therefore, attention to the importance and application of concept maps for the development of creative thinking and information preservation in the educational system is an inevitable necessity.
Aims: The aim of the current research was to the effectiveness of teaching with conceptual maps in developing creative thinking skills and retaining information in the physical geography of fifth-grade literature students.
Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was 801 fifth-grade students of literature in Urmia. Sixty students were selected by cluster random sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups of 30 (control group 30 and experimental group 30 students). Data collection was based on a creative thinking questionnaire by Welch & Mc Dowall (2002) and information retention by Mohammadi Bahmani (2014). The face and content validity of the questionnaire was approved by professors and experts in management and educational sciences and was confirmed through factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.89 for creative thinking and 0.84 for information retention based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The analysis of the information obtained from the tests was done through SPSS. 22 software in two descriptive sections including (Mean and standard deviation) and inferential (analysis of covariance).
Results: The research results showed the effect of concept map training on the development of creative thinking skills (expansion, innovation, fluidity, and flexibility) and the retention of positive and meaningful information, it was also found that the effect of mind map training on creative thinking is greater than retention It was information.
Conclusion: The results showed that the use of concept mapping training is effective in the development of creative thinking skills and
