Abstract

Abstract: Mind mapping, introduced by Tony Buzan in 1974, is a powerful visual tool for organizing ideas, often generated during brainstorming sessions. It's a diagram that visually arranges information into a hierarchy, illustrating the connections between different parts of a topic. This technique has proven to be an innovative and effective way to boost memory capacity for medical students. Researchers have found that mind mapping has many potential uses in clinical education and can be adapted for various situations. Studies show how both students and teachers can use mind maps to improve the quality and performance of medical education. It's a method that's easy to teach and learn, and it doesn't require any special equipment or high costs. Conclusion Mind maps helps in acquiring high levels of knowledge and practice Recommendation: Mind mapping should be used in teaching pediatric nursing
