Mind Maps for Medical Students

Product Information

Descriptive statistics comparing pre-HSRT scores between subjects in the SNT group and MM group are found in Table 2. Its clean and simple interface makes it easy to create mind maps, and the app's intuitive gestures allow for quick navigation and editing. Subjects in the MM group may have relied on previous knowledge of other non-mind map note-taking strategies, which could explain why they were able to score similarly. The large sample size ( N = 131) assumes a normal distribution of the population, and therefore, parametric statistics were used to analyze the data.

They did, however, report that all of the subjects in the mind map group perceived that mind maps are useful for memorizing information. The sample of convenience consisted of first-year medical students who voluntarily participated in this study. Descriptive statistics of pre-HSRT scores for all subjects ( N = 131) were as follows: total ( M = 23. Willingham[ 15] stated that critical thinking occurs when a student penetrates beyond the surface structure of a problem and recognizes how the problem can be solved, and in addition, possesses the content knowledge integral to solving the problem.Degirmenci Ü, Kreil S, Burk S, Breuer G, Kornhuber J, Weih M: Anteil stigma-assoziierter themen im psychiatrie-konzept von medizinstudierenden in der einführung in die klinische medizin: Eine mind-map studie.

Mind mapping was developed by Tony Buzan[ 19] and the inspiration for this strategy arose from the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci[ 20]. In fact, most of their notes were written in a traditional categorical way with information starting at the top of the page and ending at the bottom.A free version is available, but upgrading to a premium plan unlocks additional features and storage.

However, the difference between means of the pre-quiz (quiz 1) and post-quiz (quiz 2) scores in each group differed. Ideally suited for students and early postgraduates revising for exams, this convenient and portable distillation of knowledge will aid in memorization and save many hours of note taking.Many learning strategies, such as case-based learning and PBL, assume the learner is committed to lifelong learning and will integrate previous knowledge with newly acquired knowledge[ 10, 11]. The mind maps have a really good level of detail for each condition, so that you get a very comprehensive overview without being an overwhelming amount of information. Additionally, they found significant differences in self-reported motivation with the mind map group having lower levels of motivation than the self-selected study group. Yet, despite the lack of exposure to mind maps and their novice status, subjects in the MM group were able to integrate, and ultimately, retain enough information so that they did not score significantly less than subjects in the SNT group.
