"The application of mind-map via graphic organizers is one of the solutions to address the problem of low performance, short span of learning, capturing student’s attention and retention, as well as helping them to increase their academic performance in Science."

SIXTO F. DELA CRUZ, JR.

“All knowledge is connected to all other knowledge”
-Arthur Aufherheide

Learners mostly learn when teachers connect the lessons through experiences and real-life situations. Hence, they should follow patterns to create big ideas to improve their retention that promote active learning.

Nowadays, learners’ preferred learning style is mostly visual learning (spatial) which utilizes different graphs, charts, maps, diagrams, and computer applications. A child can acquire sufficient information if it is organized in a well-rounded manner.

Based on the principle of constructivism, it says that knowledge is constructed in a manner that learners can put pieces of knowledge and put them together into a unique way. The use of patterns, colors, pictures, and maps as a part of learning experiences of learners takes opportunity to maximize their skills.

One of the innovative and revolutionary approaches in learning Science that may help them to cope up with day-to-day lessons is the mind-mapping technique.

The application of mind-map via graphic organizers is one of the solutions to address the problem of low performance, short span of learning, capturing student’s attention and retention, as well as helping them to increase their academic performance in Science.

The school and the teachers have a great role in sculpting the learner’s ability and mind to attain optimum capabilities-influencing learners in the acquisition of science concepts through using instructional materials that may stimulate their creative ideas.
