Science education in school curriculum is both very significant and demanding issue. Creating an activity based learning environment with a rich science curriculum which engages all the learners is challenging enough. Through concept map drawing, a learner can be able to participate in a brainstorming session where one puts ideas down on paper without criticism. These ideas become clearer when it is linked with each other and arranged in hierarchical or non-hierarchical structure. Hence, the mind becomes free and active to receive new ideas. In this present study researcher wants to address the question that why the use of concept map in science education is an effective approach for Learner-Centered Instruction and how far it plays an effective role on students’ understanding level. Finding of the study shows that concept mapping based instruction i.e. Learner-Centered Instruction is more effective in science education and students get better achievement through it.
