| Abstract | ||
| Background: An innovative thinking technique called mind mapping can help nursing students learn to retain the key ideas and establish a learning environment that promotes information processing. The research aimed to investigate the effect of mind mapping on cognitive achievement and critical thinking skills of nursing students. Research design: A Quazi- experimental research design was utilized. Research setting: This research was carried out at Al -Azhar Faculty of Nursing, in Nasr city, Cairo. Research sample: 156 third-year nursing students who signed up for the nursing administration course serve as a convenient sample and was divided randomly into two groups; control and study group, each group (No. =78). Tools: Three tools were utilized to gather the data; Mind mapping questionnaire, cognitive achievement questionnaire and Yoon's critical thinking disposition instrument. Results: The majority of nursing students in the study group (89.7%) had a satisfactory level of knowledge about mind mapping immediately after applying it. Moreover, a satisfactory level of cognitive achievement was also achieved by the majority of nursing students (85.9%) and almost one third of them (32.1%), in the study and control groups, respectively. Additionally, (84.6% & 50%) of the nursing students in the two groups immediately following the application of mind mapping demonstrated high and moderate levels of critical thinking, respectively. Conclusion: The correlation between the total scores for both groups' critical thinking and cognitive achievement was highly statistically significant positive. The study suggested expanding the use of mind mapping in additional nursing courses and increasing faculty members' awareness on its use. | ||
