Effectiveness of Using Mental Maps Using the Mindomo Mobile Application in the Training of Biology Teachers

Abstract

In this article, the authors investigated the effectiveness of using mental maps using the Mindomo mobile application. As an evaluation criterion, we used the average percentage of correct answers to the test on the studied topic immediately after the end of the module and again after 3 months. The results indicate the effectiveness of such a tool as mental maps in learning, including in the long term; however, for long-term storage of information, the manual method of drawing turns out to be more effective than using a mobile application.
