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 !obt (2.162) is higher than lent (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
experimentaJ 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. ln class observation during the treatment, the researcher found that mind
mapping also improved students' learning and memory and stimulate their
creative thinking.
