Agenda for Today’s Workshop

Learning styles.

What’s a mind-map?

What’s a concept map?

Mapping for teaching and learning.

Types of learning

•People have differing preferences for the way that they learn

•While everyone can learn through any learning mode, everyone learns faster through their preferred mode

Page 4: Workshop Mindmapping

This preference includes the depiction of information in charts, graphs, flow charts, and all the symbolic arrows, circles, hierarchies and other devices that instructors use to represent what could have been presented in words.

Oral / AuralThis perceptual mode describes a preference for information that is "heard": lectures, tutorials, tapes, group discussion, speaking, web chat, talking things through.

KinestheticAlso known as ‘experiential’ learning. By definition, this modality refers to the "perceptual preference related to the use of experience and practice (simulated or real)."

DISCUSSIONWhat are some of the ways that you appeal to a variety of learning styles

in your classroom?

Mind-mapping

• Created/promoted by Tony Buzan

• Stress visualization as well as the written

• Mind-mapping stresses tree-like structures and a radial hierarchy.

Exercise 1

Let’s create a mind map that outlines the US federal government

Concept Mapping

• Developed in science education.

• Is similar to mind-mapping, but there is more emphasis on highlighting relationships between elements.

• Concept maps tend to be more systemic and formalized.

Stages in Constructing a Concept Map

1. Brainstorming

2. Organizing

3. Layout

4. Linking

5. Revision14Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 15: Workshop Mindmapping

In groups, let’s create concept maps that explains how doctoral process works: from high school to first professorship.

Exercise 2

15Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 16: Workshop Mindmapping

Brainstorming Stage

• List as many terms and concepts associated with the question at hand.

• Write them on Post-It Notes

• Don’t worry about redundancy, relative importance or relationships

16Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 17: Workshop Mindmapping

Organizing Stage

• Spread out Post-It Notes

• Create groups and subgroups, try to emphasize hierarchies

• Identify terms that represent higher categories and add them

• Some concepts will fall into multiple categories, this will become important in the linking stage

17Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 18: Workshop Mindmapping

Layout Stage• Arrange items to represent collective

understanding of the relationships and connections between groups

• Try to maintain a consistent hierarchy

• Place similar items closer together

• Think of simple sentences that can show relationships between groups/items

• Rearrange as necessary; your map will look different from other groups

18Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 19: Workshop Mindmapping

Linking Stage

• Use lines with arrows to connect & show relationships between groups

• Write a word or phrase beside/below each arrow to identify the relationship

• One to several arrows can start or end on particularly important terms/concepts

19Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 20: Workshop Mindmapping

Revising Stage

• Review your draft

• Rearrange as needed; remove; simplify

• Discuss any remaining issues

• Think about colors, shapes or images you might want to use

WAYS TO USE CONCEPT & MIND-MAPPING

21Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 22: Workshop Mindmapping

Using Mind/Concept Maps:Lectures

An effective way to present theoretical information more visually

A way to create an interactive environment

Very useful for Socratic method or capturing class discussion

22Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 23: Workshop Mindmapping

Using Mind/Concept Maps:Assessment

Concept maps are great tools for testing student learning

Checks their ability to remember content but more importantly processes and relationships

23Friday, February 8, 2008

Page 24: Workshop Mindmapping

Using Mind/Concept Maps:Study Aids

To help with complex lectures and/or readings, perhaps a concept map to demonstrate interconnectivity?

It need not be complete, it can have blanks and these could be filled in as a homework or in-class assignment
