This activity allows students to reflect and share effective safe quality clinical practices. The use of mind mapping activity allows varying levels of nursing students to develop an understanding of critical thinking (or the assigned nursing concept) using a collaborative team approach. Forty-five minutes is provided for the activity and 10 minutes for each group’s presentation and summative assessment by the instructor. The central concept, critical thinking is placed in the center of the Post-it paper and the team works outward from this focus to create a mind map incorporating safe evidence-based practices. Each team synthesizes a mind map on a 36×48 Post-it paper. Next, the students exchange thoughts, shared responses within their groups, and lastly share the synthesis of their mind maps with the class. Students work in teams of 5-6 to create a mind map reflective of what thoughts and actions are essential components of critical thinking used by nurses during their daily clinical practice.Įach team is instructed to reflect silently about the posed query. (Note: Critical Thinking was chosen as an exemplar from one of many concepts used by nurses as a way of knowing in clinical practice). Discussion of what mind mapping is and its implementation is facilitated by the instructor at the beginning of the class to ensure students understand this creative activity.Ī three step collaborative structure is used to illustrate the concept of critical thinking (or substitute any assigned course concept): (1) formulating groups, (2) sharing ideas related to critical thinking, and (3) developing a mind map. Students come to class prepared to synthesize a mind map after completing assigned readings, viewing a mind map You-Tube video, and reviewing the student self-assessment instructional rubric for the activity.
