This is my first time visualising my data utilizing a mind map. Even though I have not yet started collecting my data in the field (online) or actually started writing my thesis, I have had a general framework for my research. However, all the logics and relations between each sub-topic within my research have been messy until I managed to draw the mind map below.
Drawing the mind map really helped me organise my mind and my research process by visualising each other’s relations. As I continue my research, I will keep my mind map with me and update it regularly to keep my mind clear. As you can see, this map is almost a graphic mini version of my research.
Once I have collected my visual data (photos) of the linguistic landscape, I will use some visual method(s) to organise them. I believe visualising the data will greatly benefit me in clearing my mind and making my thesis writing more logical and efficient.
