Concept mapping is a visual representation of ideas that facilitates critical thinking and is applicable to many areas of nursing education. Computer-assisted concept maps are more flexible and less constrained than traditional paper methods, allowing for analysis and synthesis of complex topics and larger amounts of data. Ability to iteratively revise and collaboratively create computerized maps can contribute to enhanced interpersonal learning. However, there is limited awareness of free software that can support these types of applications. This educational brief examines affordances and limitations of computer-assisted concept maps and reviews free software for development of complex, collaborative malleable maps.
Free software, such as VUE, XMind, MindMaple, and others, can substantially contribute to the utility of concept mapping for nursing education.
Computerized concept-mapping is an important tool for nursing and is likely to hold greater benefit for students and faculty than traditional pen-and-paper methods alone. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(7):403-406.].
概念图是一种有助于批判性思维的思想可视化表示形式,适用于护理教育的许多领域。与传统的纸质方法相比,计算机辅助概念图更加灵活且限制更少,能够对复杂主题和大量数据进行分析与综合。迭代修订和协作创建计算机化地图的能力有助于加强人际学习。然而,对于能够支持此类应用的免费软件的了解有限。本教育简报探讨了计算机辅助概念图的优势和局限性,并回顾了用于开发复杂、协作性可塑地图的免费软件。
诸如VUE、XMind、MindMaple等免费软件可极大地提升概念图在护理教育中的效用。
计算机化概念图绘制是护理领域的一项重要工具,相较于传统的纸笔方法,它可能会给学生和教师带来更大的益处。[《护理教育杂志》。2016年;55(7):403 - 406。]
