This research aimed at finding out the effects of using mind mapping technique on academic achievement and cognitive load in Engineering Mathematics. Apart from that, the relationship between the cognitive load and academic achievement was also investigated. A total of 28 students were assigned into the experimental group (N=14) and control group (N=14). Academic achievement was measured using post test and cognitive load was gauged using NASA-TLX questionnaire. The present research has proven that using mind map in teaching and learning will significantly improve students' achievement and reduce the cognitive load in Engineering Mathematics. In addition, it has been found that cognitive load is negatively correlated with academic achievement. In conclusion, mind mapping technique can be considered as an effective learning tool in Engineering Mathematics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
