Mind Mapping as one of the Ways of Creative Thinking

Abstract

Patterns of the thinking process affect not only the success of students at school, but, more importantly, they affect the success of a person in his or her professional and personal sphere. According to the fact that today the availability of information and their volume grow geometrically, it is extremely important to learn how to deal with overloading of information. From this point of view, it is desirable to human nature to be identical to human cognition, which unambiguously exceeds only the ratio itself. Human wisdom is externally demonstrated by the culture of thinking. The ability of impartial judgment, the ability to predict, observe, asses and evaluate phenomena belong to the basic characteristics of thinking culture. One of the primary prerequisites for the quality of complementary thinking is the ability to uncover relationships, compare them in connections and generalize them appropriately. This "versatile" assessment, which is denoted as critical thinking, can be learned through the application of mind or cognitive maps. The article presents the experience of authors with the preparation of future teachers of technical subjects not only with the application of these maps in the process of teaching, but also with their elaboration by the students.
