Mind mapping, which uses a multi-sensory learning approach, can support a student’s ability to explore associations amongst information because it is a “free-form” learning technique in which creative thinking is fostered (Davis, Sumara, & Luce-Kaper, 2000). For the learner, exploring these relationships engages a “deep” approach to learning rather than a “superficial dive” (Biggs, 1987). The interconnection created by the branches in the MM also allows for “dual coding”(Kullay, Lee, & Caterino, 1985) of information which supports association and links to be made. While future work is warranted to assess if student critical thinking skills are benefited by this approach, the findings from this study suggest that mind mapping is not widely used in physical therapist education but that faculty are interested in learning more about the tenets associated with MM. As scholars of teaching and learning, we must explore and then inform others of diverse teaching and learning strategies that may support the academy’s role to enlighten students not only with knowledge but with the ability to act upon that knowledge.
