Learning media is a tool for students to make learning easier. Mind map digital is a learning media in the form of mind maps with the help applications of mindset mind manager presentation. The main objective of developing mind maps is to produce digital-based products for class X students on material atmospheric. This media can be a reference for the latest material, examples and learning resources around the atmosphere to provide students with an easy understanding of the lesson. The mind map digital developed has been tested internally by media experts and material experts. The final results are in the form of a digital mind map product design that has been revised based on suggestions and recommendations from each validator. This research and development use the modified ADDIE’s model only in the ADD section with research procedures namely goal formulation, media design, media validation. The research subjects were 28 students of class X IPS 4 in SMA 2 Batu. The research data used included the results of the media feasibility questionnaire, while the techniques data analysis used descriptive analysis to process the trial data. The results showed that digital mind maps were feasible to be used in the learning process with each gaining scores from material experts 98 percent and media experts 79 percent. Then the assessment or product response from students as research subjects get a value of 80.02 percent. Media pembelajaran merupakan alat bantu untuk peserta didik agar memberikan kemudahan dalam belajar. Mind map digital adalah media pembelajaran dalam bentuk peta pikiran dengan berbantuan aplikasi presentasi mindjet mindmanager. Tujuan utama pengembangan mind map adalah menghasilkan produk berbasis digital untuk peserta didik kelas X pada materi atmosfer. Media ini dapat menjadi rujukan materi, contoh, dan sumber belajar terbaru seputar atmosfer untuk memberikan peserta didik kemudahan dalam memahami pelajaran. Mind map digital yang dikembangkan telah di uji internal oleh ahli media dan ahli materi. Hasil akhir berupa rancangan desain produk mind map digital yang telah direvisi berdasarkan saran dan rekomendasi dari masing-masing validator. Penelitian dan pengembangan ini menggunakan model ADDIE yang dimodifikasi hanya pada bagian ADD dengan prosedur penelitian yaitu perumusan tujuan, desain media, validasi media. Subjek penelitian adalah 28 peserta didik kelas X IPS 4 SMA 2 Batu. Data penelitian yang digunakan meliputi hasil angket kelayakan media, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif untuk mengolah data hasil uji coba. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mind map digital layak digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran dengan masing-masing memperoleh nilai dari ahli materi 98 persen dan ahli media 79 persen. Kemudian penilaian atau tanggapan produk dari peserta didik selaku subjek penelitian mendapatkan nilai 80,02 persen.

The purpose of this research is to study the possibilities of using mind-mapping technology in modern conditions of digital transformation of the educational process to develop students’ motivation to learn foreign languages. The research methods are the method of static description of the material, analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific information, and experiment. As a result, it was proved that the use of this technology in teaching foreign languages facilitates memorization of lexical material, promotes the development of speech skills, and makes the learning process exciting. It was found that in the course of creation of Mind Maps, students with a high level of digital skills are more successful in overcoming the language barrier, striving to expand the semantic components of Mind Maps. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the students’ preferences on the choice of methods of learning foreign languages were studied. To pioneer the use of the method, the study was carried out on special German texts, which were studied by the students by means of two methods (traditional and mind-mapping technology).

The process of integrating all necessary authorities and disciplines into an organized preparedness plan is complex, and the inclusion of disaster mental health poses specific challenges. The goals of this project were 1) to identify whether state mental health preparedness was included in state public health and emergency management preparedness plans, 2) to document barriers to entry and strategies reportedly used by state authorities in efforts to incorporate reasonable mental health preparedness into existing public health and emergency management preparedness planning, 3) to employ a theory for organizational change to organize and synthesize this information, and 4) to stimulate further discussion and research supporting coordinated preparedness efforts at the state level, particularly those inclusive of mental health. To accomplish these goals we 1) counted the number of state public health preparedness and emergency management plans that either included, mentioned, or omitted a mental health preparedness plan; 2) interviewed key officials from nine representative states for their reports on strategies used in seeking greater inclusion of mental health preparedness in public health and emergency management preparedness planning; and 3) synthesized these results to contribute to the national dialogue on coordinating disaster preparedness, particularly with respect to mental health preparedness. We found that 15 out of 29 publicly available public health preparedness plans (52 percent) included mental health preparedness, and eight of 43 publicly available emergency management plans (18 percent) incorporated mental health. Interviewees reported numerous barriers and strategies, which we cataloged according to a well-accepted eight-step plan for transforming organizations.

Objective: A method is presented for integrating the mind mapping methodology into Pharmacy course classes. An evaluation was made of the students’ performance and their perception of achievement of significant learning. Method: Weekly reviews and group assignments using mind maps were carried out on a Small-Scale Drug Formulation class concerning drug formulation design. The students’ grades were compared with those for control groups and longitudinal Cohorts. A questionnaire was used to obtain the opinions of the students concerning the effectiveness of the methodology and their acceptance of it. Results: The students showed improved short-term performance and collective learning. Their feedback concerning the methodology was positive. Conclusion: This strategy was shown to be a promising tool for engaging adult students in collaborative learning activities.

Abstract The majority of people who have experienced institutionalized education have found it extremely laborious, slow and a necessarily repetitive process. The authors of this paper focus on and present possibilities for making the teaching of a foreign language more effective through mind mapping: the implementation of neuro-linguistic knowledge and mind maps into the learning process.

There is a growing need to better capture comprehensive, nuanced, and multi-faceted qualitative data while also better engaging with participants in data collection, especially in virtual environments. This study describes the development of a novel 3-step approach to virtual mind-mapping that involves (1) ranked free-listing, (2) respondent-driven mind-mapping, and (3) interviewing to enhance both data collection and analysis of complex health behaviors. The method was employed in 32 virtual interviews as part of a study on eating behaviors among second-generation South Asian Americans. Participants noted the mind-mapping experience to be (1) helpful for visual learners, (2) helpful in elucidating new ideas and to structure thoughts, as well as (3) novel and interesting. They also noted some suggestions that included improving interpretability of visual data and avoiding repetition of certain discussion points. Data collection revealed the adaptability of the method, and the power of mind-maps to guide targeted, comprehensive discussions with participants.
