Mind Mapping Tool

(Obs. My english is a work in progress so may have some mistakes)

Challenge

I am the teacher of a school and our challenge is to create a class / teaching  model that makes students pay more attention in class so that they can learn in  the best possible way the content passed by the teachers. This project will  include all subjects (chemistry, physics, history ...) taught at school in all school  grades, in total there are 11 different subjects, 11 school grades with 4 classes  each. A commission of teachers of different subjects was set up to dedicate  themselves to this project, meanwhile they continued to teach 50% of their  classes, we will have 9 months to finish the project and we cannot forget the  views and interests of our stakeholders.

Selection

Our team has already collected data and now we want to identify patterns and  themes, so we will use the “Mind Mapping” tool. (Just like it was presented in  the video that addresses the Me YouHealth development).

Application

In one of the classrooms we take all the data we collect and organize it by  placing it on the walls, setting up a gallery. We called on students, parents,  teachers, coordinators and the principal to visit our gallery, without speaking to  the other visitors, and asked them to write down on post-its what caught their  attention, we gave 30 minutes for this task.

After visiting the gallery, we separated visitors into groups of 6 people, selected  at random so that the different stakeholders could be mixed within the groups.  For 10 minutes the visitors analyzed what they wrote, after that period one of  the group members shared one of the themes he observed and other people  added with what they noted similarly, so that at the end of the process all post-it  notes were on wall, grouped or not. After this step, visitors were asked to  identify the insights of each group of post-it notes and after this step they were  asked to identify the relationships between the insights.

After this dynamic, we analyzed the insights that were generated and developed  the design criteria.

Insight

After using the tool, we group the same insights and identify the different  insights that have been generated, some of these insights had already been  anticipated, but others were new and surprising. From these generated insights  we think about the design criteria of our project, to create a class that is more  attractive and thus make students learn more and better.

Approach

Next time I would apply the tool differently, do the dynamics more than once,  once with the different stakeholders separated and once with them mixed, so  that we could better analyze the insights generated.
