Study On Constructing Knowledge Network With Mind Map

Knowledge network makes disorderly knowledge organized and systematized,it help students master,understand and apply the knowledge they have learned,and improve their test scores and the ability of creative thinking.Based on the teaching of high school biology experiment,this paper tries to use the mind map to cultivate students’ ability of building knowledge networks,and study their influence on students.In this study,the methods of literature research method,education experimentation and investigation method were used.The experiment object was students of eight classes in the second grade of two high schools.Students of four classes(two regular classes and two key classes)were experiment Groups,the rest of the students as control groups.In the biological experiment teaching,students of experiment groups were trained to use the reticulated mind map to build knowledge network.Starting from the reticulated mind map of experiment "Exploring the Conditions Influencing Enzyme Activity",students gradually mastered the method of drawing reticular mind map and further learned how to extend the reticular mind map of "Enzyme" and finally form the ability of building knowledge network independently.Students were tested;the reticulated mind maps were scored.the test results were analyze by the software SPSS 19 to evaluated the difference between students of the experiment groups and the control groups in terms of knowledge,systematization of knowledge,academic achievement and creativity thinking ability.The results shown that the students who set up the knowledge network by using the reticulated mind map were obviously higher than the students who didn’t in the comprehensiveness,ordination and systematization of the knowledge,Students also get higher scores,but differences between performance students were less,Students of experiment groups improved their ability of creative thinking,almost completed the experiment design.Students of ordinary classes improved more than that of the key classes.The thesis consisted of six parts.The first part is the foreword,which discussed the background and the significance of the thesis,the literature review and the definition of the related concepts.The second part elaborated the theoretical basis of the thesis from the perspectives of brain science theory,cognitivism learning theory and constructivist learning theory.The third part elaborated the research plan of constructing the knowledge network using mind mapping from six aspects: research content,research object,research method,independent variable and dependent variable,research procedure,and research evaluation.The fourth part was the determination and analysis of the above before the research.The research implementation process.The fifth part was the research results and analysis of this.The sixth part made the conclusion and the deficiency,looked forward to the future.
