Keywords:
Key words: mind mapping, young learners, teaching strategies, visual learning, creativity, classroom activities, memory enhancement, engagement, cognitive development, early education.Abstract
Abstract: Mind mapping is a powerful educational tool that has gained significant
attention in recent years, particularly in the context of teaching young learners. Its
visual approach, which relies on diagrams and illustrations to organize information
hierarchically, appeals to the natural ways children acquire and process knowledge.
This technique not only simplifies complex information but also fosters creativity,
enhances memory, and supports a variety of learning styles. In the setting of early
education, where traditional linear note-taking may be less effective due to children’s
developmental stages, mind mapping emerges as an adaptive and innovative strategy.
