Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 I am an Art History teacher in a fine arts high school . My teaching subjects include art history of   both Iran and the world . The problem I have always faced in my career is that my students do not   show much of interest and motivation toward the art history of Iran as much as they do for the   world 's art history . They are really interested when we talk about western art but sadly when it   comes to Persian art , I have to take exams to make them keep going with the subject . with my   background of study in design and during the instructions of this course ( Design thinking for   innovation ) I decided to take an innovative approach in order to detect the exact causes and find   a solution for the problem . 

 Selection 

 As the teacher of 52 Art Students , I could gather great amount of information from my students .   So there was no lack of data . I just needed a tool to organize and translate all this raw data to   useful insights . So I decided to choose Mind Mapping , since there was so much information to be   processed and Mind Mapping is a tool for looking for pattern s and themes in our data . ( according   to the last lecture of week 3 ) This tool will help the process of design to move forward by putting   each element under specific category and that will affect our understanding of the problem and   will show us the right issues to work on . 

 Application 

 First , I want to talk about the ways that helped me to gather the information I needed from my   students . Most of the data has been obtained during some written questions , in which , I asked   few questions from the students to know how do they feel about western and Persian art history .   also in my questions I wanted to know how do they think about those subjects ( mostly about   their importance and necessity ) . Since my target audience are painters and illustrators , I ask them   to draw and paint about what they feel and think in the simplest way . 

 After my research , in one of my classes ( 22 students ) I made three personas from the data that   my students had given me . also I told them to hang their drawings about the subjects . They had   40 minutes to look around , think and take notes . Then , at the next step , we choose to do the   classification from whole to component . We agreed on few theme , including feelings ,   importance , being practical , the book , the class and others . After that , the students add their   notes written on sticky notes to the categories on the whiteboard . At the end of the class , there   were lots of sticky notes under every category . 

 Insights 

 As we moved further in the process , the school and I learnt a lot of things since that day . Some   notes are really fascinating . For instance , some students wrote that there is lots of foreigner   Instagram pages on the internet about western art history and museums that they follow . In that   pages you can find posts that increase your knowledge and interest about western and especially   modern art but there are only few Instagram pages that share about Persian art and they are not   posting every day . In this case , we had some discussion in school about being more active on   social medias and the website of the school . We will focus on online activities that shows   interesting facts about Persian arts . 

 Also , there were some notes about the poor quality of existing pictures of different form of   Persian arts in the book and also on the internet . That sounds right to me since the students of   arts are more likely to be visual learners and we are looking forward to provide them with better   picture and videos . 

 Approach 

 Mind Mapping tool was really a fun approach to the problem and still really eye - opening .   Especially because my students could stick their notes without their names , I think they were   more comfortable than if they had to talk about them ( which will happen more in other tools ) .   So I think I will use this tool again in my teaching career and I am sure that still I can learn more   and more . 

 But the next time , I think I will combine it with visualization tool at the beginning . Since   visualization will give us the opportunity to convey our concepts and understanding of each   other ’s concepts in the fastest way and it will accelerate the process .
