A Comparative Study On The Application Of MindMapper And Hand-drawn Mind Maps In Physics Teaching In Senior High Schools

According to the "Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan" and the "General High School Physics Curriculum Standards(2017 Edition)" issued by the Ministry of Education,teachers should use a wealth of information teaching methods to carry out new teaching models that integrate and innovate information applications,and adopt diversified teaching methods to create learning situations in which students actively participate,are willing to think and inquire.The use of mind maps to assist classroom teaching is not only conducive to teachers to carry out teaching activities,but also helps to cultivate students’ independent learning ability and scientific thinking,and enhance problem-solving ability.Mind maps can be drawn not only by hand,but also by computer software.But each has different advantages and disadvantages.This paper understands through the literature research method that the biggest feature of handdrawn mind maps is that learners can present their own thinking at any time and place,will not be limited by location and time,and the required materials are also simple,and they can immediately take materials and draw;Mind Mapper software has a clearly organized,fully functional and easyto-operate interface.At present,there are few studies on the application of hand-drawn and computer-drawn mind maps,and the application of Mind Mapper software in the field of education and teaching can be said to be a blank page.Therefore,this paper carries out a comparative study on the application of Mind Mapper and hand-drawn mind maps in high school physics teaching,initially tries to draw mind maps with the help of Mind Mapper software,and selects physics teaching cases of different course types to be applied in high school physics classrooms,hoping to provide case reference for future high school physics teachers to use Mind Mapper software to implement map teaching.This paper first discusses the research background,current situation and purpose significance,and expounds the relevant research concepts and theoretical basis.Secondly,the following comparative study of mind mapping methods of Mind Mapper software drawing method and handdrawn method is carried out:(1)Comparison of the drawing process of mind mapping.The respective cartographic steps of these two methods were analyzed separately.Considering the materials required for the two ways of drawing,the drawing method of Mind Mapper software is more suitable for teachers;the materials required for hand-drawn mind maps are the pens and paper that are often used around,so the hand-drawn drawing method is more suitable for assisting students in learning.(2)Comparative display of teaching cases.The questionnaire survey method and the interview method were used to investigate the tendencies and views of teachers and students on the current situation of mind mapping and different drawing methods,so as to understand whether it is feasible and necessary for the application of the two mind mapping methods to classroom teaching,and lay a foundation for comparative practical research.Through the case study method,the teaching cases of Mind Mapper mind map and hand-drawn mind map applied in three types of classrooms of new physics class,experimental class and review class were compared and displayed.Mind Mapper software was found to be able to map minds throughout the classroom,while handdrawn mind maps were only available for part of the class.However,the freehand method has a higher degree of hands-on involvement of students than the Mind Mapper software drawing method.(3)Comparison of teaching practice effectiveness.The hands-on research method was adopted,and the Mind Mapper mind map and the hand-drawn mind map were used in two classes for teaching application,and the data of the questionnaire survey on the student’s learning performance and teaching practice effect were analyzed with the help of SPSS software after practice.It was found that the Mind Mapper software drawing method and the hand-drawn method of mind mapping are conducive to the improvement of students’ skills in terms of correct test questions,construction of knowledge connections and memory of knowledge,but the teaching effect of Mind Mapper mind map is slightly higher than that of hand-drawn mind map,and the effect of Mind Mapper mind map is better than that of hand-drawn mind map in terms of cultivating learning enthusiasm and learning concentration.
