Example Reflection – mind mapping

By:Donya Donya

Challenge

I am a teacher at the Faculty of Applied Arts, and I am teaching subjects related to industrial design (a  material called glass packaging design) which requires a focus on standards for production in addition to  creativity in design

Often this subject is taught as follows: We explain the classification of packages and how they are  produced and how the design is inspired by the various elements, but because of the large content and  content of the scientific material and the lack of time, most students are distracted and information is  lost and is not focused on them and designs are not produced    Of all students fulfills the purpose and standards established    Selection

The mind mapping tool was chosen to understand the thinking processes and their sequence and the  association of each element with what follows and what precedes it, which helps to follow and organize  ideas.  It is a tool that helps to search for patterns and visions within a large amount of data (what is) and  therefore it is suitable for this subject and aims to set criteria for the stage of generating ideas (what if).    This is video lecture reference  Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during  your exploration of what is the current reality. The goal is to establish criteria for the what-if idea  generation phase. Which comes next. This phase is pivotal in the design thinking process. Mind  mapping provides a segway from what is to what if    Application

Mind maps were applied to a group of students, where the students were divided into two groups  A group that uses mind maps to generate ideas and their sequences  The other group uses the traditional method  The first group wrote the word design of the glass bottles in the middle and then started setting the sub- branches from them as follows    This made the subject more creative, more visual and engaging

Looking at the other group, I outperformed the group that used mind maps to generate ideas and make  them more creative, neat, and summarizing.

We make this as This is video lecture reference  By the way, Mind Mapping is a great way to align the organization around a common understanding   of the current reality. This can be a big help as you move forward in the design process. Equip each  gallery-goer with a clipboard, a bold marker, and a bunch of medium-sized sticky notes. Ask them to  browse through the gallery on their own, with or without talking to one another. Ask them to pick out  the good stuff.

Insight

From what happened with the students and by comparison between them, it was clear that:  This tool is important for enhancing and understanding the problem they are working on  Education with participation, which generates ideas and achieves shared visions between them, is more  creative.  They can also increase ideas and expand each period with a kind of arrangement and organization.

This tool facilitated the dialogue between ideas and drawing.  It is an excellent tool for communicating ideas to stakeholders and colleagues.  This tool promoted access to design thinking using logic and imagination and the use of brain lobes by  sharing between drawing and words.  The participants have to move from a theme that has probably been more like a label, for example guilt  or no time, which is easy to come up with. To an insight statement. An insight statement is more than just  a word.

Approach

I think I will use this tool at the beginning of the semester so students can search for patterns and visions  that lead to more creative solutions by challenging their design.

It also enables them to present a presentation method summarized in writing, drawings and tables

we can see how critical mind mapping is to the design thinking process. And how it can unleash creativity  and intuition, that will serve you well throughout the rest of the process.
