Abstract

The purpose of this study was estimating the effectiveness of educational package based on mind mapping multimedia software and its effect on information processing speed in 8th grade female students. The methodology of the research was semi-experimental, with pretest-posttest and control group. The population of the study was 8th grade female students of Kerman schools selected by multistage cluster sampling and divided randomly into two groups (20 students in experimental group and 20 students in control group). In pre-test and post-test, all subjects were evaluated by fourth edition Wechsler test (sub-test of coding and sub-test of symbolism). The experimental group received the educational program in 10 sessions. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results showed that the effect of the educational package based on mind mapping multimedia software on the speed of information processing in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. Based on the results of this research, we can conclude that the educational package based on the mind mapping software can be used in improving the cognitive functions such as student information processing speed.
