However, most of previous studies use the method of empirical quantification rather than qualitative method. This study uses qualitative method to investigate how the feeling of learners for learning concept mapping and the textbooks courses via in-depth interviews. Therefore, this study verifies previous results from another view point, expecting to obtain different opinions from learners'. This study uses purposive sampling to select respondents who have different learning levels, and they are four initial learning students, one passed and done quite well student and one failed and learning again student. The results of this studyare as follows. First, concept mapping could promote learners' independent thinking and achieve meaningful learning. Textbooks of concept map attract learners' attention, and motivation than the traditional linear textbooks. Third, the more colorful concept maps attract learners' attention, and motivation than the normal concept maps. Further, the new insights of this study are as follows. First, the motivations of students from the concept map are mainly caused by teachers' verbal skills. Second, textbooks of concept map reduce students’ initial learning difficulties and enhance the motivation of students. Third, cooperative learning is not entirely benefit to all students unless there is appropriate supervision. Forth, when there are a large number of concepts, computerized concept mapping can help students to integrate the concepts and improve mess situation in hand-writing.
