Application Of Mind Mapping Research Articles

El uso del mapa mental como herramienta didáctica en los procesos de investigación realizados por los estudiantes de licenciatura de la carrera de Ingeniería Industrial

Este artículo desarrolla una innovación que se aplicó a los procesos de investigación realizados por los estudiantes del nivel de Licenciatura de la carrera de Ingeniería Industrial, es decir, la implementación de mapas mentales. En este caso, se presenta una fundamentación teórica sobre el concepto y la aplicación de los mapas mentales en la construcción del conocimiento y, posteriormente, la sistematización de los resultados obtenidos en la aplicación de esta estrategia didáctica respecto a los procesos de investigación desarrollados por los estudiantes en su proyecto de graduación de la carrera. En la aplicación de la innovación se consideraron tres investigaciones desarrolladas bajo la modalidad de Proyecto de Graduación entre los años 2010 y 2012, en las cuales participaron ocho estudiantes. La sistematización de esta experiencia permitió determinar que el mapa mental es una herramienta que facilita la toma de decisiones en relación con la organización y la reorganización de las fases de un proceso de investigación; asimismo, posibilita la construcción y reconstrucción del conocimiento científico y académico por parte del estudiantado.

Application of mind map in experiment teaching of fundamental nursing

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of applying mind map in experiment teaching of fundamental nursing.Methods The mind map was applied in experiment teaching of fundamental nursing.the students in experimental group (n =36) was taught by mind map teaching method while those in control group (n =36) was taught by traditional method.The experimental group students' evaluation was collected during the experiment and operating examination was conducted for both groups.Results The students in experimental group were in favor of mind map,with each scores higher than three points.The operating examination score of experimental group (87.64 ± 4.23) was higher than that of control group (84.78 ± 4.42),with statistical differences (P =0.007).Conclusions Applying mind map in experiment teaching of fundamental nursing can improve teaching effect,cultivate students' ability of comprehensive analysis and arouse their interests.

Application of mind map in health education of rheumatoid arthritis patients

Objective To evaluate the application effects of mind map on the health education of rheumatoid arthritis patients.Methods A total of 60 rheumatoid arthritis patients were randomly divided into observation group ( n =30) and control group ( n =30).Nurses utilized mind map for the health education of observation group,and they gave oral education to the control group.Before discharge,the two groups' mastery of disease knowledge and satisfaction on health education were compared.After discharge 1 month,3 months and 6 months,the compliance of two groups were evaluated.Results The score of disease knowledge of observation group was ( 16.53 ± 2.52) which was significantly higher than ( 13.27 ± 2.83 ) of control group(t =4.728,P ＜ 0.05 ).The score of satisfaction on health education of observation group was ( 16.93 ± 2.72),and that of control group was ( 15.13 ± 2.78 ),and the difference was statistically significant ( t =2.539,P ＜ 0.05 ).The compliance of 1 month,3 months and 6 months after discharges of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group [( 15.90 ± 2.99 ) vs ( 13.87 ± 2.74 ),( 15.17 ± 2.90) vs ( 12.80 ± 2.78 ),(14.93 ± 2.99 )vs ( 12.83 ± 2.97 )],with significant differences ( t =2.748,3.223,2.781,respectively ; P ＜0.05).Conclusions It is advisable to adopt mind map in health education of rheumatoid arthritis patients for its convenient,practical and efficiency.

MindMapX

Mind Mapping is a diagramming technique that allows its users to effectively capture, learn, manipulate and develop information. It has the potential to radically enhance an individual's capacity to learn, in both a single user and group environment and has been proven to do so in a wide variety of fields. MindMapX is a multi user Mind Mapping application that is being developed with the express intention of unlocking Mind Mapping's potential.
