A Literature Review on How the Mind Map Method Helps Students Remember School Lessons

Abstract

Students' ability to receive information is low, and they have a boring learning experience. The best effort that can be made is to use appropriate learning strategies. A mind map is a fun strategy. Thinking activities involving both the right and left brain, as well as writing skills, are thought to be effective in improving students' ability to remember lessons. The mind map method can increase student activity and participation in learning in elementary social studies material. It is effective to develop students' verbal-linguistic intelligence and visual-spatial intelligence using the mind map method. Furthermore, mind maps are used in problem-solving methods to make learning more interesting and enjoyable. Mind maps, in addition to being a learning tool, can also be used as an evaluation tool. The mind map method also increased students' attention and motivation to learn Islamic History subjects. The results of the observations show that using mind mapping can improve students' reading comprehension of descriptive texts. Other studies, in addition to history and language materials, demonstrate the success of the mind map method in precise lessons in high school and science in elementary school.
