Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of Mind Mapping technique in improving students’ scores in reading comprehension and students’ responses toward the implementation of the Mind Mapping technique. This research employed a quasi-experimental design. This research involved two classes of tenth grade students at one vocational high school in Bandung in which one class as the experimental group and the other one as the control group. The experimental group received Mind mapping technique in teaching and learning process during treatment, while the control group received Three-Phases Technique in teaching and learning process. The instruments used were pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire of attitudes towards the Mind Mapping technique. The pre-test and post-test scores of the two groups were analyzed by using the independent t-test while the questionnaire was analyzed by using percentages. The findings revealed that the use of Mind Mapping technique was effective in improving students’ scores in reading comprehension. The result of the independent t-test showed students’ score of both experimental and control groups had improved but the improvement of the experimental group which had received the Mind Mapping technique is better. It was indicated by the statistical computation in which the means of experimental and control groups’ scores before receiving the treatments were (M=74.86) and (M=75.71) while the means of experimental and control groups’ scores after receiving the treatments were (M=81.86) and (M=78.43). Moreover, the result of the independent t-test computation of post-test scores showed the tobt (2.162) is higher than tcrit (1.996) at the level of significance 0.05. It meant that the null hypothesis was rejected as there was a significant difference between students’ post-test scores in the experimental and control groups. Regarding the students’ attitudes toward the use of Mind Mapping, the findings indicated that most of students regarded the use of Mind Mapping technique to be moderately positive. Nearly all of students (97.1%) agreed that Mind Mapping was able to improve their reading skill and 94.3% of students opined that Mind Mapping helped them to understand text easily. In class observation during the treatment, the researcher found that mind mapping also improved students’ learning and memory and stimulate their creative thinking.
