Definition of Mind Mapping
The process of remembering and learning consisted mainly of seeing and hearing. Information coming into the brain via the view (including reading) to hear (lectures, speeches) to be given longer involved not only the mind (understanding the problem), but also a feeling that encourages a willingness to remember longer. Background knowledge and experience of our belief in something so big his part to improve our memory of something, active attention to something that will make us easy to remember.
Mind Mapping is an excellent example of efficient use of techniques that can help us understand the concept - the concept and to memorize the information with a learning infrastructure. Mind Mapping is literally mapping information stored in the minds of the reading process.
Mind Mapping formation always begins with a single theme or concept, around the several other related concepts associated with it. then the next concept - related concept is subdivided into many more categories of goods - goods related considerations. principal - the principal is often summarized and linked in a single keyword coded or image to be memorized easily. to stimulate and help the memorization of our brain, is necessary to use lots of color, real pictures, humor, provocation, in the Mind Mapping to create a stronger impression on our brains so they can be memorized in the better. Rather - rather make a list of the top-down, start from the middle of the page and from the middle of the page and then working outward. this way the same information is automatically collected by the same group. mind mapping is usually easier to make a position paper with wide (horizontally) rather than longitudinal (vertical).
Key features - features Mind Mapping
According to Tony Buzan's Mind Mapping is a tool that organizational and great thinking and focused on memory, how to record and creativity. Mind mapping puts information obtained from the process of speed reading into the brain and take information out of the brain.
Mind Mapping is basically characterized by the following characteristics:
a. Using the line - curved lines to make nets - nets
(Not a line - straight line)
b. Papers in each of its branches using a black color
c. Nets - nets use different colors depending on the need for color - the color making it easier for the organization.
d. As much as possible using images
According to Michael (in Buzan 2007: 6) Mind mapping has advantages, namely:
a. give a holistic view of the principal problems with large areas of view
b. collecting some important data in one place and do not close the possibility that the data can still be added or subtracted
c. activate the entire brain
d. improve the process of thinking
e. allows users to focus on basic language
f. help to show the relationship between sections - separate pieces of information
g. gives a clear picture and details
h. allows for the concept
Mind mapping provides users with ease in three areas:
a. release information which is in the mind to be transferred in the form of notes
b. ease in entering information on either of mind mapping and recording the use of mind mapping
c. ease in organizing
All mind mapping has some similarities are using color. The structure of the radial nature of Mind Mapping which radiated out from the main image (central). Mind mapping makes lines, symbols, words, words and images based on a set of rules that are simple, basic, natural and familiar to the brain. By using Mind Mapping long and tedious list can be transformed into colored diagrams - colorful, memorable and highly irregular and in line with the natural workings of the brain.
A. Some important things in a mind mapping presented below, namely:
1. Make sure the main theme is located in the middle
For example, if we're empelajari speed reading lesson, the main theme is a quick read.
2. From the main themes, will emerge the themes related to derivatives that are still the main theme
From the main theme of "speed reading", the themes of derivatives may consist of:
3. Find the relationship between each theme and mark with lines, colors or symbols.
The first derivative of each theme will appear again the theme of the second derivative, third and so on. So the next step is to find the relationship that exists between each theme derivation. Use lines, colors, arrows, or branches and other symbolic forms to describe the relationship diatara themes such derivatives. Patterns of this relationship will help us understand the topics we are reading. Also mind maps that have been modified with symbols and symbols that match our tastes, it becomes much more meaningful and interesting than the map of the mind that "poor color"
4. Use uppercase
Uppercase letter will encourage us to just write down the important points just in the mind map. Also, read a sentence in the picture will be much easier if the larger than lowercase letters. Use lowercase letters can be applied at the points in character explaining the key points.
5. Create mind maps on plain paper and cut out the edit process
The idea of mind maps is that we think creatively. Therefore use plain paper and not easily tempted to modify the map of the mind, so often times we're changing the focus so that inhibits the absorption of understanding of the theme we are studying.
6. Leave room for additional themes
Useful mind maps are usually conducted additions and modifications to the theme repeatedly for some time. After drawing the first version of mind maps, we generally will add the information, wrote the questions or mark the important points. Therefore always reserving space in the paper mind map for additional themes.
Elements and characteristics of mind maps
Mind map is a listing of non-linear, but not all non-linear recording including mind maps, these differences include the elements and characteristics. The elements of a mind map according to Wycoff (2002:67), among others:
a. The focus of the center that contains the image or symbol image problem or the information is mapped, placed in the middle of the page
b. The idea is left to flow freely without rating
c. Key words used to express ideas
d. Only one keyword per line written
e. Keyword ideas connected to the central focus with lines
f. Color used to highlight and emphasize the importance of an idea
g. Images and symbols are used to highlight ideas and stimulate the mind in order to form another association.
Characteristics and mind maps by Barry Buzan (2004:68), among others:
a. Subjects of concern have crystallized in a central image
b. The main theme of subjects memancara from sental image as branches
c. Branches consist of keywords or key image is written on the line which is associated. Topics with a smaller interest rate is also described as branches attached to the branches of a higher level
d. These branches form a connected node structure
The benefits of mind maps
According to Wycoff (2002:14) mind map is not actually limited to only record the replacement technique but more than that. Mind mapping technique is a great new way to enhance students' cognitive abilities. Produce a mind map drawings, allowing students organize materials so accepted, made a number of associations and links to other sources.
That's because a mind map is actively invigorate both our brains and provide free opportunities to interact with information.
According to Buzan (2004:334) the benefits of mind maps in detail, among others, as follows:
a. The strength of mental associations of students freed from bondage
b. Learning objectives can be achieved much faster
c. Note mind maps can be easily converted into a presentation, essay or other forms of communication.
d. Clarity of mind became more and more analysis
e. The pleasure was growing because of accumulating knowledge
f. Permanent records easily accessible to all students experience significant learning
