It is imperative to establish a sound pre-arrival emergency medical system. Also, it is urgent to arouse the public’s first aid awareness and to improve their first-aid skills in helping themselves and others in emergency system. Learning first aid skills will help you save yourself and reduce the delay or loss of life caused by lack of first aid knowledge. In order to learn first aid knowledge effectively, this study took concept maps as the research tool. According to some concept maps researches, concept maps have been regarded as a tool for knowledge representation that can effectively promote meaningful learning. It can not only change the traditional rote learning into a meaningful one, but it can also help learners to construct knowledge efficiently and effectively. Past studies on concept maps were mostly studying scientific fields. Few studies had applied the concept maps to the learning of abstract ideas. This study uses concept maps as a tool for knowledge representation to guide the construction of first-aid knowledge. It is hoped that concept maps can help learners to learn meaningfully and can make learners apply the theory in practice through analogical learning. The purposes of this study are to explore the learning effectiveness of concept maps assisting the learning of first aid knowledge and to evaluate the concept maps materials through tests and interviews. The research findings are as follows: 1. With the help of concept maps, the learning of first aid knowledge can effectively assist learners in constructing basic concept of first aid. 2. Concept maps can effectively represent first aid knowledge and can promote the occurrence of analogical reasoning, leading to meaningful learning. 3. Learners can construct better and thorough first aid knowledge through the first aid knowledge sharing webpage established by the researcher.
