Abstract

The article reveals the content and considers the mental map from the perspective of innovative training of specialists in the modern educational environment of higher education. Different positions of considering the mental map as an innovative tool in training specialists are shown. Cloud services are presented that can be used in developing mental maps when preparing seminar or lecture classes, and types of mental maps in the modern educational environment of higher education are identified. The rules for creating them are developed, and the advantages of a mental map as an innovative tool in training specialists in the modern educational environment of higher education are shown. Comparison of quantitative and qualitative analyses of the results of the experiment indicates that the implementation of pedagogical conditions in the process of introducing a special course in EG according to the components of the diagnostic apparatus led to statistically significant changes, an increase in scores on the motivational criterion, cognitive criterion, activity criterion, and evaluation criterion, and therefore we observe positive dynamics in the use of mental maps by higher education applicants and their positive impact on the process of training specialists in the modern educational environment of higher education.
