Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of the digital mind map technique on the learning of midwifery students. The research will be carried out with Kocaeli University Midwifery 2nd year students. A meeting was held with students regarding extracurricular studies between 12 February and 16 February 2024, which is the beginning of the 2023-2024 academic year academic calendar of Kocaeli University. The research will be completed with 86 students in the mind map method group (n = 43) and the classical method (n = 43) group. Data will be collected through the participant information form, knowledge assessment survey on family planning, and satisfaction assessment survey of the narrative regarding the digital mind map. Three topics determined regarding family planning methods (oral contraceptives, condoms and intrauterine devices) were prepared by the researcher using the digital mind map technique. The participant information form and the knowledge evaluation survey on family planning were administered as a pre-test to the students who accepted the research at the first meeting. The mind map technique was first explained to the mind map method group. The topics were explained to the students in the mind map method group by the researcher and his advisor using the mind map technique and with materials prepared with the digital mind map technique. The classical method was explained to the classical method group by the researcher and his advisor. A posttest will be administered to both groups 1 week after the lecture. Again, 35 days after the lecture, the study will be completed by applying a permanence test to both groups and a student satisfaction survey to the experimental group. After the study, the mind map technique will be explained to all students in the classical method group who have completed the study, and the topics prepared with the digital mind map technique will be explained to the classical method group and reinforced. Statistical analysis of the data obtained as a result of the research will be carried out using the IBM Statistic 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) program. Study data will be collected using appropriate statistical methods and the significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Knowledge Level

  It will be applied as a pre-test with the Knowledge Evaluation Survey on Family Planning in order to determine the students' knowledge levels. It was prepared to measure students' learning levels with a survey consisting of 30 questions. The minimum value that can be obtained from the survey will be calculated as 0 and the maximum value will be calculated as 30. It will be understood that the higher the score the students receive, the better their knowledge level.

  4 weeks

• Knowledge Level

  After the topics are explained, the final test of the Family Planning Knowledge Evaluation Survey will be applied to determine the students' knowledge levels. It was prepared to measure students' learning levels with a survey consisting of 30 questions. The minimum value that can be obtained from the survey will be calculated as 0 and the maximum value will be calculated as 30. It will be understood that the higher the score the students receive, the better their knowledge level.

  8 weeks

• Satisfaction levels of materials prepared with the digital mind map technique

  In order to evaluate the materials prepared with the digital mind map technique of the students in the experimental group, a Satisfaction Evaluation Survey of the Expression on Digital Mind Map will be conducted. It is a survey consisting of 25 questions. There is no minimum and maximum value range. The prepared survey was prepared in a way that you could mark more than once and was open to interpretation.

  2 weeks

• Knowledge Level

  It will be applied as a retention test of the Family Planning Knowledge Evaluation Survey to determine the students' knowledge levels. It was prepared to measure students' learning levels with a survey consisting of 30 questions. The minimum value that can be obtained from the survey will be calculated as 0 and the maximum value will be calculated as 30. It will be understood that the higher the score the students receive, the better their knowledge level.

Study Arms (2)

Digital Mind Map Technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Students determined as a result of randomization will be given a pre-test before entering the "Family Planning"course planned according to the academic calendar. The planned topics will be explained using the prepared digital mind maps technique.

Other: Digital Mind Map Technique

Classic Method Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The determined topics will be explained to the students in the control group using the classical method. Students' knowledge level will be measured with knowledge tests.

Other: Classic Method Group

Interventions

Digital Mind Map Technique OTHER

Students determined as a result of randomization will be given a pre-test before entering the "Family Planning" course planned according to the academic calendar. The determined topics will be explained to the students using the digital mind map technique. A post-test will be administered to the students 1 week after the end of the subject and a satisfaction survey of the digital mind map technique will be administered. Permanence test will be applied 35 days after the last test application.

Digital Mind Map Technique

Classic Method Group OTHER

After the students in the control group are determined, a pre-test will be conducted before the subject is given training. The same knowledge test will be repeated as a final test after students have received classical course training and completed the subject. Students will be given a retention exam 35 days after the last exam. After the retention test application, the mind map method will be explained to the students in the control group and the determined topics of the course will be explained with the prepared digital mind map technique. In this way, all students participating in the study will also have access to the additional educational materials used.
