Now that we understand the principles, let's apply them to our learning journey with these 2 concepts:
- Inquiry-based learning
- Order control.
Represent your findings with mindmaps
Create a mindmap to represent the relationships you have found.
Why mindmaps?
- More processing involved
- Easier to represent relationships
- Engage with more parts of the brain
Your mind map shows how each inquiry and link you make improves your grasp of the topic. As you explore the mindmaps, try to follow this guideline:
- Draw by hand, on paper or infinite canvas (if available), and use fewer words; prioritize doodles and visuals
- Start with the backbone first (2-4 big ideas that can explain the entire topic)
- Always use your questions to find relationships and connections.
- Spend time to think, reflect, and evaluate relationships before writing them down.
- Repeat the process until you reach a high level of mastery of the subject.
After you apply inquiry-based learning, order control, and higher-order thinking and represent it on a mindmap, you get something like this:
