pictorial and graphical design flourishes, mind mapping can make learning and teaching more vivid and thus can promote memory retention as well as enhance the motivation of the learners. When it comes to free form and unconstrained structure of mind mapping (Ying et al., 2014).
A mind map allows the user to record a great deal of information on one page, and to show relationships among various concepts and ideas. Visual presentation of ideas helps one to think about a subject in a global, holistic sense and increases mental flexibility. On a mind, map structures of the subject can be seen in a way that is not possible with linear outlines (Mento et al., 1999). A Mind Map is the easiest way to put information into your brain and to take information

Thanks to the progress of technology, nowadays there is a chance to design mind maps by computers. Among the increasingly number of mind map software programs, we can mention some of them like, Free mind map, Buzan I mind map, personal brain, mind manager, x mind. It is a fact that there are some benefits of computer mind mapping over manual mind mapping (Hariri, 2013). The use of information and computer technology has enabled information mapping to be achieved with far greater ease. A plethora of software tools has been developed to meet various information mapping needs (Davies, …show more content…
In the light of the philosophy of progressive education quality prevailing in the college, it emphasizes the attention to all mental, physical and skill and tactics aspects of the learner's personality to achieve the targeted educational outputs and stimulate learners to a good level to gain information and knowledge, and perform basic skills in handball, as well as the use of constructivist teaching methods or active learning methods, which are several and varied.
Both researchers believe that there is an appropriate method for each learning attitudes or adequate with all educational activities. However, there is teaching method suitable or appropriate for specific educational position and specific educational activities. This determines the conduct of research and scientific studies.
Due to the multiplicity of constructivist learning methods and activity, including the digital mind maps, it became the researchers' duty to practically contribute to conduct this research to resolve the matter and identify the effect of using digital mind maps on the cognitive achievement level and performance of some basic skills in
Using technology can increase our access to information, improve teaching efficiency and can make learning more enjoyable. At the ASMS we use technology to enhance our learning during school assignments ad tasks. Maths and Abstract Thinking, a central studies topic, gave me the opportunity to use technology to create a company log during a functions and graphs folio task. Using GeoGebra , mathematical software, and my knowledge around functions and graphs I created a logo for a self-created business ‘Ashley Platt’s Delectable Delights’ (see figure 1). Using technology allowed me to plot inequalities and line equations, skills gathered during the topic, with ease to create an accurate and unique design that met the requirements of the task.
There is only one approach in psychology that studies thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The biological approach believes that the way we are is due to our genetics and physiology. They believe that the activity going on our nervous system’s is what affects the way we think, feel and behave (Sammons, 2009). The physiology in the biological approach looks into how the brain functions. The brain is a very complicated machine as such, the brain is what controls our every move, every feeling and every action.
What is the Mind? Introduction To try and explore the ‘mind’ it is necessary to examine if the mind and the brain are separate or if the mind and body are distinct from one another? Is the mind and body separate substance or elements of the same substance? Is consciousness the result of the mechanisms of the brain, wholly separate from the brain or inextricably linked?
When you give the reader a visual representation of a concept, they are able to put themselves in the situation and relate.
Also, these study supports the effectiveness of “concept mapping” in the improvement of both cognitive critical thinking, skill and habits of mind. So finally, “clinical concept mapping” is a valuable strategy for improvement of clinical thinking of nursing
One of the key to the successful teaching of physical education is the use of a broad range of approaches and methodologies. As it is acknowledged that schools, classes and teachers will vary, some methods will suit particular circumstances better than others, and the nature of the strands themselves necessitates the use of a variety of teaching methods. There is a need to examine the teaching methods which will best enhance the achievement of the objectives, taking factors such as the content and context of the lesson into account, as well as the needs of the learner. Teaching means sharing, guiding, changing behavior, impressing, disciplining, counseling, directing and inspiring. Good teaching is a process of producing end products of
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the study Learning is a change in behavior over time that is brought about by experience during training in educational encounter (Akubuiro and Joshua, 2003). Training as part of education, is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competence as a result of the teaching of practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competences (Angel, 2007). Training helps the learner to acquire certain useful skills and develop critical mind for the learner’s self-development.
They say that mental processes are the same thing as brain processes. This gives us a better explanatory role with causation regarding mental states. According to the identity theory, the “Mind” and the “Brain” refer to one object (the physical brain). (Anthony Oyowe, personal
A study shows that “The exercise programs may actually enhance the development of specific types of mental processing known to be important, for meeting challenges encountered both in academics and later in life.” Also, the athletes are improved since high school. The kids that play sports have a higher chance to be smarter, and be physically well. The best part of sports is that you can improve major parts of your life, which is physical health, psychological health, social skills, and academic
Since the spread of formal schooling and education in human societies, fostering cognitive abilities, such as understanding, reasoning, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and judgment has been highlighted [1]. Problem-solving is an essential skill in today’s life [2]. Problem-solving is a goal-directed thinking [3]. It is a mental process, some logical, orderly, intellectual thinking that helps cope with problems, search several solutions and choose the best solution [4]. According to Moshirabadi, problem-solving is a systematic process and a problem-focused situation analysis that indicates the ability of individuals to overcome obstacles and to achieve goals.
How to apply Cognitive Theory in real world teaching It is very important to carefully assess the children’s current stage of cognitive development. With the help of this, teacher can arrange the lesson and tasks according to their development level.
Cognitive Learning Theory suggests that the different methods regarding learning can be elucidated by scrutinising the mental progressions first. Unsuccessful cognitive processes provide effects in learning complications that can be perceived anytime during the period of an individual. Piaget’s theory Piaget’s theory of cognitive development contains of four stages of intellectual development.
Hence have the vocabulary to describe stages of growth. Manross (2000) study (cited in Graham et al, 2010) showed that when students in skill theme approach and games approach were asked to identify critical elements of over hand throw. Students in skill theme approach could identify critical elements of a over hand throw more successfully as compared to students in game approach. Another advantage is that in skill theme activities are selected according to student’s abilities (Graham et al, 2010). This allows students to integrate new learning with previous knowledge.
Being a pre-service training educator, specific goals and objectives should be set to achieve educator’s own educational philosophy. The Educational philosophy is an individual statement of educators’ guiding principles about the education-related issues, which helps to guide when drawing up curricula and structuring classroom discussions for children. Every educator should have their unique set of principles and ideas to affect students’ performance. I strongly believe that early childhood education is to help children to achieve whole person development which including cognitive, physical, mental and social aspects. Children’s programs should be based on children’s needs and interests as they are going to grow, develop and mature in educators’
For example, my students learnt how to write an essay by undergoing some cognitive processes such as thinking, remembering, memorizing and problem solving. Making Sense of Our World: The Role of Representation. There are internal and external representation. While we think, imagine or learn something, we create the internal representation in our mind which we always call them as concepts or schemas. It is
