Uso de mapas mentales como método para ayudar a estudiantes de ESL/EFL a conectar vocabulario y conceptos en diferentes contextos
Resumen
El funcionamiento del cerebro muestra que el pensamiento no es lineal. Las personas pueden entender mejor los conceptos cuando tienen representaciones visuales de las ideas. Estas imágenes son personificaciones externas de «Pensamiento Irradiante». El comprender cómo funciona la mente para conectar conceptos, ayuda a los educadores a proporcionar estrategias de vocabulario que apoyen el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. El diseño de mapas mentales, a mano o mediante el uso de software, ha demostrado ser una buena técnica para el pensamiento creativo y el aprendizaje. Este estudio reflexiona sobre cómo los mapas mentales ayudan a los estudiantes ESL/EFL a conectar conceptos en diferentes contextos, permitiéndoles crear asociaciones entre palabras e imágenes para aprender mejor y memorizar la información en un segundo idioma.Referencias bibliográficas
