Term2.png MIND MAPPING
A Learning methodology similar to outlining that consists of drawing diagrams used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. It is used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, helping analysis, problem solving, and decision making. [1]

Steps

  • Take a blank piece of paper and use it in landscape orientation
  • Start in the center, using single words
  • Write the topic in the center of the page in capital, and draw a circle around it
  • Write sub themes around the main topic
  • Draw lines out from this circle to link subjects
  • Around the main subject in the center of the page, write subdivisions themes which are connected to the main topic
  • Lines are linked in all directions from the center
  • Use colors to separate different ideas where necessary
  • Use symbols and images where a symbol or picture means something
  • Use cross-linkages where information in one part of the Mind Map may relate to another part. This helps to see how one part of the subject connects with another
  • Once the Mind Map is finished, start analyzing the information
