Abstract Mind maps that combine text, images, color and layout elements, have been widely used in classroom teaching to improve retention, knowledge organization and conceptual understanding. Furthermore, studies have shown the advantages of using mind maps to facilitate collaborative learning. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding the use and study of collaborative mind mapping in online learning settings. This integrated-article dissertation explores the implementation of online collaborative mind mapping activities in a mathematics teacher education program at a Canadian university. The studies were developed with participants enrolled in three different courses where at least two of the online activities used collaborative mind mapping for knowledge construction.

  • Profiling a Mind Map User: a Descriptive Appraisal
    Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Profiling a mind map user: a descriptive appraisal Joanne M. Tucker Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Gary R. Armstrong Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Victor J. Massad Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Abstract Whether created manually or through the use of software, a non -linear information organization framework known as mind mapping offers an alternative method for capturing thoughts, ideas and information to lin ear thinking modes, such as outlining. Mind mapping is used in education, government and business as a creative method that is useful in training, brainstorming, organizing and problem solving. This paper examines mind mapping techniques, advantages and di sadvantages of hand -drawn maps and using mind mapping software. Several mind-mapping software applications are compared on a number of product dimensions. Survey results provide a descriptive profile of mind map users in education, government and business sectors. Keywords: mind mapping, mind mapping software, mind map user profile Profiling a mind map user, Page 1 Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Introduction to Mind Maps The mind mapping technique, along with the term “mind map,” originated with popular psychology author Tony Buzan (1970), who developed the technique as a way of helping people to learn more effectively. His work is partly based on the pioneering brain research of the 50’s as well as left/right brain work by Roger Wolcott Sperry (1968) which was later refined by Robert Ornstein (1977). The bod y of this research indicates that the human brain responds best to key words, images, colors, and direct association. Buzan refined these ideas into a simple set of rules that can be followed to create a maze of information known as a mind map.

  • E-Mind Maps As an Innovative Teaching Tool
    E-Mind Maps as an innovative teaching tool Dr. Mohamed Elnaggar Assistant Professor of E-Learning Technologies National Egyptian E-Learning University Introduction A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information where a central concept branches out with subtopics from center outwards. Also it is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole. Mind Maps Importance Mind map is simply the best tool as it involves your whole brain during learning and it is a visual tool to generate ideas and develop concepts, teachers should use it at learning. Mind Maps Advantages The most advantages and benefits of Mind maps can be summarized in the following points: • Make presentations and lessons more enjoyable both for the teacher or student. • Provide flexibility to teacher materials • provides deep understanding for the subject Mind Maps Advantages • learner could summaries about 10 to 1000 pages of traditional notes in just on big mind map. • Give the mind a whole structure of any subject. • Enhance understanding and recalling information. Using Mind Maps in Education Mind maps always begin with a core concept or idea which is often represented with an image or single word in the center of a page. Once the core concept has been chosen and visualized, branches are then created that represent single words which connect to the main concept. From there, sub-branches can be created that further develop ideas and concepts from the main branches. All of the ideas and concepts are connected to the overall theme of the whole mind map; this allows the teacher to engage students with the bigger picture as well as the finer details.
