Course Goal / Objective
Mind maps have functions such as developing critical thinking skills, emphasizing hierarchical relationships, organizing and reorganizing information, visualizing written or verbal information, using the right and left hemispheres of the brain together, establishing connections between concepts, moving away from memorization, revealing reflective thinking, using information in new situations, increasing student achievement, identifying learning deficiencies, facilitating evaluation and creative knowledge production. The aim of this course is to use the mind map preparation technique first with paper and pencil and then with Foramind software to ensure its application in different fields.
