I think they have different uses.
Repetition is how to develop immediate instinctive habits, which is needed to speak fluently.
Mind maps can help someone determine what is correct. It's slower and more deliberate, so not great for tasks that are done regularly.
The problem is that students dont want to develop these kind of habits.
At least my students didnt.
It's nearly impossible to teach someone who doesn't want to learn.
haha
You should have seen their parents.
Even worse.
No surprise there. My dad was a teacher, so I'm pretty well-versed in that world.
One of my classes, their spelling was very bad.
So in order to leave the classroom, I made them write down each word 5 times
There were like 10 words.
They all did it, then cried to their parents.
I was told I couldnt do it again.
That doesn't seem like an unreasonable assignment. Times have changed.
Their vocabulary spelling scores improved drastically on the next quiz.
It was magical.
I forced my students to copy Switch on 100 times the other day because I was so sick n tired of hearing them shout Off the fan
No surprise that your homeland surpasses mine in education.
I was forced to follow our teaching material, so I wasnt able to make them learn words that werent in the vocabulary list.
I think both have their place in education.
Since I’m preparing the kiddos for their exams, I want them to dig out this mental representation from their cognitive drawers n apply it. Let’s see how it goes
I dont know if l believe in mind maps.
I feel good old fashion repetition works better in some cases.
