Abstract

The article presents research on the use of mental maps for planning activities in the project oriented education. Mostly used for planning long-term Work Breakdown Structure activities and Gantt charts are too complicated for primary school students.

Therefore, it was decided to find a tool already familiar to students and adapt it to a new role. The research was carried out on 118 students aged 10 to 14 years.

For primary school students, this method of planning work is quite difficult. Few of them coped with this task, therefore, in order to be able to use this tool to plan work in a project, you should devote more time to learn how to create memory maps beforehand.
