Mind Maps for Medical Students

Product Information

In this quasi-experimental study, 131 first-year medical students were randomly assigned to a standard note-taking (SNT) group or mind map (MM) group during orientation. Currently, however, there are no data to support the hypothesis that mind maps facilitate critical thinking in medical students. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. After taking text passage quiz 1, subjects in the mind map group were given a presentation on mind maps and how to construct them, while at the same time, subjects in the control group were sequestered for a break and could not leave the lecture hall.

This difference was not significant and this finding demonstrates that both groups had similar baseline critical thinking abilities as measured by the HSRT. AVD conceived the design of the study, performed the statistical analyses, scored the mind maps, and drafted the manuscript. Irrespective of the mechanism, information enters the mind of the student, who is actively trying to make sense of the information. The mind maps have a really good level of detail for each condition, so that you get a very comprehensive overview without being an overwhelming amount of information.Thus, mind mapping may be an attractive resource to add to the study-strategy repertoire of entering medical students to help them learn and organize information. great if you need a quick refresher or if you're not sure about the things you need to know about for a certain condition. This book covers most of the general medical topics in very well presented mind maps (in very good detail).

Because the sensemaking of the student may be very different from that of the professor presenting the information,[ 12] one of the assumptions underlying constructivist theory is that the student will integrate the information into a personal framework so that it will be retained,[ 8] which results in meaningful learning. Yet, there are limited learning strategies available to these students to master the volume of information required to succeed in medical school[ 2].
