Application of interactive technologies for creating mental maps (mind map) in the framework of studying plant systematics in the course "botany" at the medical faculty of secondary special education

in this scientific paper, the authors analyze the use of interactive technologies, including mind maps (known as mind maps or "smart maps"), which are used in the learning process at the Faculty of Medicine (FM) to classify plants. In the paper, the authors emphasize the advantages of using mind maps for the process of visualizing and memorizing the necessary information, as well as for increasing the level of motivation of students. The authors present the results that were obtained during the study at the Faculty of Medicine among students in the FM programs. The goal is to analyze the effectiveness of using mind map technology in an interactive mode, as part of studying the course "Botany". The object of the study is students of the Medical Faculty of Synergy University, whose program includes the course "Botany". The subject of this study is the educational process using mind maps, which are an effective mechanism for visualizing and structuring knowledge in order to increase the level of motivation of students. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the adaptation of modern technologies using mind maps in the educational process to improve the understanding of the course "Botany" by students in FM programs. This study shows that the influence of the visualization process and structuring of knowledge using mind maps in classes on plant taxonomy improves the assimilation of educational material, which leads not only to a deeper understanding of the topic, but also contributes to improving the memorization of theoretical material in general. The results of the study also show the possibility of using mind maps to increase the level of involvement of students in the process of studying the course "Botany". The results of this study demonstrate that the use of mind maps helps to improve the overall academic performance of students within the course. Analysis of the educational achievements of students at the initial stage and after studying the material using mind maps showed significant improvements in test results, as well as more successful completion of assignments in practical classes.
