Mind Map Software for Education

Mindomo's mind map software has proven to be an effective tool in educational settings, enhancing both teaching and learning experiences. Various studies have demonstrated that concept mapping can significantly improve retention and test scores by reducing material complexity and minimizing misconceptions.

Mindomo's Efficiency in Education

Results of a Few Studies
“Memorizing Vocabulary through Mind Mapping Technique”- the study analyzed 40 first-year students from Bangkok University in Bangkok, Thailand, during a 6-week experiment on learning a foreign language.

Learners considered mind mapping an enjoyable way of absorbing knowledge, which attracted their brain, becoming more interested in mastering vocabulary items.

Visualisation using colors, pictures, and curvy lines helped learners make associations. They were attracted to this method because they could express their style by using art and imagination to the fullest.

This study proves that mind maps are an excellent tool for both storing and expanding vocabulary size, helping learners utilize and rely on their long-term memory.

This technique allowed learners to use the left and right brain in the memorizing process, and it incorporated a variety of memory strategies such as grouping, associating, using imagery, and elaborating

Mind mapping enhanced students’ motivation, attention, comprehension, and recall.

“Using Mindomo to engage students in higher-order thinking” - Brandon M. Sabourin, a teacher from the University of Windsor, Canada

The students assessed Mindomo as a tool that allowed them to engage with the courses, where they participated more meaningfully. Moreover, the general opinion supports Mindomo as a pedagogical tool in their courses.

The instructor’s perspective on Mindomo highlights the importance of concept mapping as a tool that supports meaningful learning and highlights Mindomo as one of the solutions he found for developing students’ critical thinking.

It is explained that mind mapping focuses on lower-order thinking skills like summarizing, defining, memorizing, or classifying, while concept mapping engages learners in high-order thinking actions, such as justifying, analyzing, defending, or hypothesizing.

The paper “Blending Concept Maps with Online Labs for STEM Learning”

Concept maps reduce the complexity of the material and also minimize students’ misconceptions.

concept mapping can enhance retention and test scores compared to other study techniques.

visual learning is the best method for teaching and learning. When students start to organize knowledge graphically, they draw the ideas learned and easily see the connections between them.

2010 the State University of New York (SUNY) College of Optometry conducted a pilot project

Teachers can easily notice which concepts the students consider essential learning points. Any gaps in understanding are also made easily noticeable

Students consider that concept maps helped them connect information from the course to other courses from their curriculum.

62% of the students who participated and created concept maps with Mindomo affirm that it helped them see the bigger picture and have an overview of their clinical case presentations.

WHY MIND MAPPING?

Mind maps have a "superpower"
Studies show that we remember

10% of what we hear

20% of what we read

80% of what we see

they are used to organize information visually instead of writing it in sentences
