Mind Mapping
It’s a visual representation of ideas that are all related – in one way or another – to the specific skill or information which a child is attempting to learn. It makes a child to connect the dots between all the different thoughts that emerge from the learning content, highlighting the various relationships, the similarities, and the differences between concepts.
Brain Sketching
It is closely related to mind mapping, and it’s a rather unusual term for what can be a highly effective learning technique for creative minds. For minds that absorb visual information more easily than textual data, creating visual representations of this data through brain sketching can be hugely beneficial.
Self Explanation & Elaborative Interrogation
Self explanation and elaborative interrogation are two different concepts, but they’re very closely related. Self explanation is almost like the art of storytelling, a firm favorite of many creative minds. It encourages learners to take the information they have and reimagine and reinvent it, explaining it in a completely different way that still comprehensively covers the subject. Ultimately, this learning technique is about finding different journeys to the same destination.
Collaborative Learning
While creative minds may think it’s better to learn independently, adopting a collaborative learning technique and working alongside a partner may be the secret to success. Because creativity cannot thrive alone; creative minds work best when they’re inspired by new ideas, and when they can see different perspectives.
