Mindmapping the Cross-Cultural Issues: Administration and Classroom Teaching
MIND MAPPING • Mind Mapping, first developed by Tony Buzan, is a creative brainstorming technique that uses both sides of the brain – the rational/logical, as well as our creative/innovative/intuitive side. • The same basic rules that apply to brainstorming also apply to Mind Mapping: • No evaluation or judgment of ideas • Strive for quantity – the more ideas the better! • Even wild ideas are encouraged – you never know where those wild ideas may lead! • Build on the ideas of others • Mind Mapping is non-linear and rather than developing lists of ideas it clusters issues/topics/ideas together
MIND MAPPING • Elements of the mind mapping process include: • An image, word or words that represent the central focus or problem, is placed in the center of the page. • Ideas and thoughts are allowed to flow without evaluation or judgment • Key words or symbols are used to represent ideas • Similar key words/symbols/ideas are clustered together and connected to the central idea with lines. • Color is used for emphasis. • Images, and symbols are often used to stimulate the mind to make additional connections and to highlight ideas/thoughts. From: Wycoff, J. (1986) Mindmapping: Your personal guide to exploring creativity and problem-solving. New York: Berkley Books.
