Abstract
In this paper, we seek to register the impact of mental maps and graphic organizers in the construction of knowledge. Research conducted with 140 university students from the second year of the Education Degree,
majoring in Elementary Education. We chose the qualitative research model, applying a self-reflective questionnaire to the students. For data processing, we used the program Atlas.ti. In conclusion, we put forward that the mental map, apart from contributing to the overall development of the person, connects to the multisensory approach and works as a “graphic organizer” for the construction of thought.
