West DC, Pomeroy JR, Park JK, Gerstenberger EA, Sandoval J: Critical thinking in graduate medical education: A role for concept mapping assessment?

Similar to responses for questions 1 through 5 on quiz 2, the mean score in the SNT group was slightly higher on quiz 2 (questions 6 through 10) than the MM group, but not significant. Differences in mean pre- and post-quiz scores between groups were analyzed using independent samples t-tests, whereas differences in mean pre- and post-HSRT total scores and subscores between groups were analyzed using ANOVA. A difference score was created between the standardized quiz scores so that the degree to which the variability in each quiz affected the outcome would be the same.

By using preferred note-taking strategies, subjects in the SNT group were able to rely on previous note-taking experiences that helped shaped their current understanding and learning of the material in the text passage,[ 10] while those in the MM group could not rely on prior mind map note-taking experiences as they were novices.This topic was chosen to reduce the chance that the medical students would have previous advanced knowledge of this field. Unlike concept maps, mind maps are multisensory--they include color and pictures, which facilitate the conversion of information from short- to long-term memory[ 23, 27]. However, the added dimensions of pictures and colors that are unique to mind maps have not only been shown to facilitate memory,[ 23] but may appeal to a wide range of students withvisual- and linear-oriented learning styles.

A GRE text passage was used in this study because the GRE is taken by students who are, in general, of a similar age to those entering US medical schools. With over 100 maps included, the book will be invaluable throughout medical studies and particularly useful in the pressured run-up to final exams. The HSRT consists of 33 multiple-choice questions that measure critical thinking by challenging students to form reasoned judgments based on textually presented information consisting of a number of vignettes[ 31]. Offering real-time collaboration and chat features, you can create and edit mind maps with your classmates, making group study sessions more efficient and engaging.Constructivist theory is rooted in the subjectivist worldview, which emphasizes the role of the learner within the context of his environment[ 9]. Where appropriate the mind map is followed by additional reference information to remind you about, for example, risk assessment tools, staging criteria, and treatment algorithms.
