Reflection – Mind Mapping Tool 

 The Challenge 

 Working for a non - for - profit organization , we seek donors to fund our education project . It all starts   with building a project idea that fixed the needs for less critical thinking learning and teaching approach   of young students at their primary level . The traditional ways of teaching and learning are all about   teacher talking and explaining the given lessons and the teacher and chalkboard - centered approach   from grade 1 to 6 , resulting students have not critical thinking , no self - reflection , teachers resist from   researching and learning and develop their teaching methods and contents . At the end , students have   high dropout rate as they do n’t see any relevance of their education to their family ’s livelihoods . The   task is to design a project to be implemented in schools to develop capacity of teachers and their   teaching methodologies , giving them some material so they could teach more participatory , and   engaging students more to the learning and get their parents ’ favor to leave them in school . 

 Selection 

 I started with a consultation with schoolteachers and parents and meeting with some students . It all   started with brainstorming asking about their challenges and what are and ifs to find what to do and   how . In one of the discussions , we used Mind Mapping as a tools to consolidate brainstormed ideas and   pieces of information to generate a complete project idea . 

 Application 

 The discussion started with asking what the key problems are . Everyone raised their ideas after a few   minutes of thinking silently . Then they write or draw it in a piece of paper . The few people from parents ,   teachers , school directors and some young students were grouped by their group . I then group them to   discuss their respective ideas and define only one problem per group . Then they need use sticky notes in   different colors ( to mark cause and effects , and at different level : personal , family , community , and   government ) . The sticky notes bring in ideas . The color themes up the ideas into their respective   categories . Then , they put all together and map out a problem tree . The 2nd discussion round was a mix   group . They put all their ideas in different colored sticky notes and come up with and agreed a problem   tree after challenging each other . The same 2nd group was tasked to turn their tree into a solution tree .   Again , they used same color codes but convert the problem to a solution / activity word . The last round   of discussion was in a big group , were all the solution trees will be combined / merged into one solution   trees . To challenge if this ideas worth a project investment , we use the illustration ( the solution tree ) to   consult with a group of experts from ministry of education and independents . We mapped their ideas   into the community ’s thinking and finalize a real solution tree , which we then turned into a project   objectives , activities and budgeting . 

 Insight 

 Mind mapping did not start unless we brainstorm for ideas first . Illustration helps young children ,   parents who have low education and community to fully engage and reflect back from their real   experience and needs . Mind mapping is useful to see pattern of attitude , knowledge and practice of the   community of problem . These patterns and themes are the great and simple ways to communicate   ideas between experts and communities . 

 One tool alone is not sufficient for complex issues and different context of the communities / clients due   to their cultures , their level of education , different experiences and thinking . Mind mapping can be used   at any level with almost anyone and any issue , and either in a participatory / engaging way or even just   for yourself .
