Preassessment: Personal and Professional Growth in Health Care Mind Mapping
Consider the phrase displayed on the page. For this phrase, without thinking or editing, write down the ideas, concepts, examples, contradictions, and theories that come to mind. Do not arrange them in any systematic or orderly manner. Scatter them about the page.
Now, draw lines between your additions, indicating that there is a relationship between the terms. If something causes something else, indicate this with an arrow. Relationships may be reciprocal, meaning both cause each other, requiring arrows at both ends. Indicate the strength of the relationships by darkening and thickening the lines; stronger relationships have darker and thicker lines.
Most importantly, there is no right answer. Do not compare with your classmates. What you have is a mind map, your mental representation of these topics. Review to determine if anything has changed following this section.
