Overview
Mind mapping is a technique for outlining information in diagrams using written text and lines, symbols, keywords, colors, and images.
Before you complete your Mind Map
Instructions
Create a mind map for how critical thinking is used as a nurse based on the major components of critical thinking and/or evidence-based practice (EBP). The branches should expand on at least four thoughts/ideas from the major components.
Include the following design elements in your mind map:
- Follow the branch or hook format–branches are thickest closest to the central component (i.e., closest equals EBP in priority order)
- Use the same colors for each theme/set of relationships (a mind map is brightly colored)
- Major components of a topic have branches which expand on many thoughts/ideas
- Present names on all or most of the branches or hooks
- Use at least four relevant illustrations, which will make the mind map memorable
- Topics radiate from the center of the page–ideas branch out from other ideas in a logical and organized manner
