Pedagogies of mental maps: senses and meanings for children
Main Article Content
Abstract
The work describes a practice in which a teacher uses Mind Maps as a way of recording the learning of children in the 6th year of Elementary School in Belo Horizonte municipal network in Mathematics classes. During practice, the teacher encouraged them to create Mind Maps as a way of recording their learning and thoughts. Children were encouraged to use colors, symbols and drawings to represent concepts and ideas. The methodology adopted was qualitative, covering direct observation in the classroom, analysis of students' Mind Maps and oral records through video and audio recordings to understand the learning environment and students' behaviors in Mathematics classes. It was observed that the resource allows for a greater understanding of mathematical content, as well as a greater capacity for synthesis and consolidation of learning. The children reported feeling more secure and confident when using this record, as Mind Maps allowed them to visualize and organize information in a clear and structured way. This practice can contribute to a more creative and meaningful education, where children are encouraged to develop their own skills and potential.
