Improving teaching methods in universities through the use of visual materials

This article discusses the ways of structuring information when working with texts. As an effective learning tool, we propose a method of cognitive mapping, which is based on the identification of key ideas and logical connections within the text. Using this method allows you to structure the text and see how the fragments of information are interconnected. The most commonly used graphic organizers are mindmap, Venn diagram, story map and others. The mechanism of their education is based on the folding of information to a thesis plan, which allows students to actively assimilate and process information, teaches mental analysis and forms the ability to organize and structure any material.
